Summary

[edit]
Description

Left-hand building: Dated 1891 in pediment over door. Granite ashlar and red brick with elvan dressings, slate roof. Rectangular plan. Single storey, probably over a basement, 3 bays, symmetrical, in eclectic style; plinth, rusticated corner pilasters; central round-headed doorway with panelled double doors and fanlight with curvilinear tracery, in an elaborate architrave including fluted keystone, foliated spandrels, 2-stage pilasters, fluted consoles carrying a pediment breaking the eaves and surmounted by a finial, and the date 1891 in the pediment; wider outer bays almost filled by large segmental-headed windows with stone architraves, and round-headed lights with original curvilinear tracery; roof with bands of fishscale slates, coped gables, and gable chimneys. History: perhaps formerly office of mining share broker, coal merchant, or Inspector of Weights and Measures (see Kelly's Directory 1910).

Right-hand building: Office. Late C19. Granite ashlar and some killas rubble, slate roof. Rectangular plan. Eclectic style. Single storey and 3 bays, symmetrical; banded pilasters at the corners and flanking the narrower centre bay, which contains a large round- headed doorway with columnar jambs, moulded head with keystone, and fanlight with altered glazing; the outer bays have large coupled segmental-headed sashed windows with chamfered surrounds (the upper leaves with 4 panes and the lower without glazing bars); plain frieze, moulded cornice, and parapet interrupted in the centre by a tall Jacobean-style shaped gablet containing stepped triple coved niches with keystones, and flanked by pedestals bearing small urns (that on the right missing). Roof of very small slates, with coped gables and gable chimneys. History: perhaps office of mining share broker, coal merchant, or Inspector of Weights and Measures (see Kelly's Directory 1910).
