Description

Number 102 Street is a town house built around 1780, constructed as part of a single development with Number 104 Street. It features Flemish bond brown brick and a grey slate roof. The building has a semi-basement and three full storeys. Access is via six repaired steps leading to a door on the east side, which consists of five fielded panels, with the top panel being horizontal. Above the door is a radial-bar fanlight and a three-pane overlight, all set within a recessed round-arched porch topped with a thin pediment. The basement has modern hopper casements in square openings above a painted stone plinth.

The first storey has two recessed 12-pane sash windows, while the second storey has three 12-pane sashes and the third storey features three 6-pane windows, all with painted stone sills and wedge lintels with cambered soffits. The cornice is continuous with Number 104 and returns at the east end. At the rear, there is a long three-storey wing with a blank east side and an altered west side that includes recessed 16-pane sashes. The rear gable end has a recessed round-arched porch and an inserted six-pane fixed light on the second storey.

Inside, the basement beneath the front room is accessed by stone steps and features two barrel-vaulted brick recesses on the east side. The front room on the first storey has a door with six fielded panels, a basket-arched broad niche in the rear wall, and a modillion plaster cornice. There are panelled archways leading to the stair hall and rear lobby, with doors of six fielded panels to the office and rear dining room, and a five-panel door to the lavatory. The open-string open-well staircase to the second and third storeys begins with a curtail and seven winders, featuring two plinthed square balusters per step, a fluted bottom newel, turned newels at quarter turns, and a swept handrail. The upper rooms, which were not inspected, have doors of six fielded panels, some replaced by flush doors, and there is a plain lantern in the stairwell. A plain rear staircase is also present.
