66, Dovecot Street

Number 66 on Dovecot Street is an elaborate mid-Victorian building, constructed between 1860 and 1870, featuring elements of Italian Renaissance style. This tall two-storey structure has a first floor made of brick with stone dressings and decorative features, including a dentil cornice and a blocking course. The ground floor is finished in ashlar, with partly incised stone dropped scrolls at the ends of the cornice, which is flush with the main front.

The building has plate glass sash windows, with a tripartite arrangement in the center. The first-floor windows are supported by brackets at the cornice and have blind balustrades beneath them. The ground floor window is adorned with heavy bands and a Greek key frieze. To the left and right of the building, there are imposing entrances that are treated monumentally, featuring concrete fluted sides with corner rosettes and large brackets supporting projecting hoods, which also have mutules over the Greek key frieze. The entrances include ten-panelled double doors, with three raised and fielded panels on the plinth below the central window.
