Built in 1912, the architects for the McCulloch Block apparently were Alexander Ewart and Alexander Carrie, a duo who seldom worked together after 1900. With a dentilled cornice and rusticated brick facing, it is quite similar in appearance to the Maglio Block across the street.

From a Walking Tour of Nelson’s Heritage Buildings, number 13.
This granite building is in the Late Victorian–Edwardian style. Notice the lintels, sills and cornice. By 1912, the decorative appearance of commercial buildings, as illustrated by this facade, was giving way to more functional designs.
