Number 36 Row Numbers 30, 32 And 34 Street

This is a shop, now incorporated into a department store with numbers 36-44 Eastgate Street and 38-48 Row, dating to around 1828. It was altered in the mid-19th century and extensively reorganised internally in the 20th century. The building is constructed of yellow sandstone and lined render, with a grey slate roof running parallel to the front.

The building is three storeys high, including an undercroft and the distinctive Rows level, topped with an attic. There are three windows, arranged symmetrically. A broad central flight of seven sandstone steps leads from street level up to the Row, flanked by column plinths. To the east and west of these plinths, separate flights of nine and eight steps respectively lead, via a lobby beneath the Row steps, down to the undercroft. Cast-iron double gates provide access to the undercroft. The undercroft storey has a shop window flanked by anta piers at each side of the entrance.

The Row front features Classical cast-iron railings with a spearhead design, a fluted Doric column on either side of the steps, and antae at each end. The stallboards have been removed; they formerly extended 1.5 metres from front to back. A terrazzo walkway runs along the Row. A replaced recessed glazed door sits centrally, flanked by windows with colonnette mullions and shaped corners to the panes. Lattice panels are situated above the shopfront, and the ceiling is composed of octagonal and lozenge panels. A stone entablature tops the Row opening, with a sillband above the cornice on the third storey. A central double French window, with an architrave, pediment, and wrought-iron guardrail, is flanked by similar French windows under a flat entablature.

The fourth storey has a plain sillband and three recessed sash windows from which the glazing bars have been removed, finished with a cornice. The attic storey features a central pedimented gable containing a recessed sash window with removed glazing bars. Parapets flank the gable, bearing a panel of five vase balusters and a moulded cornice. A set-back false-mansard roof has a dormer window on each side of the front gable; a brick lateral chimney is located to the east.

The interior includes a pair of parallel, 18th-century barrel-vaulted undercrofts. Two octagonal ceiling panels are visible behind the entrance to the Row storey.
