Northern Goldsmiths

Goldsmith's shop, warehouse, and office, built around 1910, with a clock added circa 1932 and a shopfront remodelled circa 1960. The building is ashlar with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, and stands four stories high with attics. It is constructed in a Baroque Revival style on a corner site.

The ground floor features a shopfront from circa 1960 to the left, another shopfront from circa 1980, and beyond that the original entrance doorway to the offices above. The doorway has double panel doors in a fluted marble surround. The first floor has a blocked window on the canted corner, featuring a projecting gilded square clock topped with a gilded female figure added circa 1932. Above this is a single cross casement with an attenuated keystone, and another window above, both in round-headed ashlar surrounds. The attic has a pair of small windows. The hexagonal corner cupola has open facades with boldly rusticated Doric columns; each corner has a square, corbelled pilaster rising to a square Ionic column. The cupola is topped with a copper dome.

The north front has three windows in the centre, flanked by single windows. The centre section has three casements in rusticated surrounds with attenuated keystones, reaching up to a cill band. The upper floors’ windows are recessed between Ionic half-columns, supporting an ornate entablature. There are three small cross casements—the lower ones with segment arched heads and elongated keystones. The attic has a single central window with a moulded ashlar surround, topped with a segmental hood. A single window in each end bay has a first-floor window with a moulded ashlar surround; upper windows are incorporated in a single moulded ashlar surround with a carved panel between. The attic of the end bay has a pair of windows with a bold mullion between, rising into a curved ashlar hood supported on brackets.

The south-east front has a similar two-window facade.
