Former Regent Foundry

The former Regent Foundry, now converted into flats, was built around 1800, with additions from the 19th century and alterations in the 20th century. Constructed of brick, it has a hipped slate roof. The building has a three-story, L-shaped layout that encloses a courtyard. The Catherine Street elevation features a five-window front with renewed 25-pane pivoting windows in the original openings, featuring stone sills and flat-arched heads. A shop front on the right side has Greek key decoration incised into the pilasters. A lower, two-story range, likely added somewhat later, is situated to the right, containing a segmentally-arched wide entrance into the courtyard and four renewed windows with flat-arched stone heads and sills. The Pierce Street side displays a ten-window range with similar detailing. A lower nine-window range beyond was largely rebuilt but incorporates two wide, parallel gables with clerestory lights in the roof.
