In March 2014, the VHRF Committee of Management agreed to offer a grant of $32,000 towards reconstruction of the c.1899 shop front configuration based on historical evidence. A historical image (found at the State Library of Victoria) of the building when it was operating as Pearce’s Great Drapery Warehouse was used as the basis for the reinstatement. Trethowan Architects documented and managed the project. Ausbuild Constructions were the building contractors for the work.

The ground floor façade reconstruction has transformed the appearance of the building, returns it to an earlier appearance and considerably enhances the historic streetscape.
