Circa 1880 long warehouse/office range, 2½-storeys to front and 3 to rear.
Fine quality sandstone "brick" with ashlar dressings. Twenty-three close set
window bays. Splayed south corner. Rock faced semi-basement. Pilaster strips
to corners. Moulded cornice with spaced brackets, parapet with long stone
carved name panel to centre surmounted by ram's head crest. The narrowness of
the window bays gives the impression of a pilastrade. Chamfered window heads
with slightly curved corners. Doorways each end of elevation have large console
brackets supporting aediculed lights, at upper ground floor level, with
enriched scrolled pediments. This long front is an important element in the
street picture.
