Description

Number 60 Street, formerly known as No. 48 Eastgate Street, is a town house that may have originally included a third-storey shop with access from the City Wall. It is now a building society office and third-storey shop. The building likely dates from around 1770 and was designed by either Joseph Turner of Hawarden or Mr. Heyden, who was the Surveyor to the Grosvenor Estate. The exterior is rendered, probably over brick, with stone-dressed elements, and features a graded grey slate roof that runs parallel to the front.

The building stands three storeys high, plus a cellar and roof attic. The first storey has a three-bay Tuscan colonnade facing Eastgate Street, which is adjacent to the Eastgate. This colonnade includes a rectangular end-pier on the west side, a covered frieze, and a cornice. The office front within the colonnade lacks notable features. The building has rusticated quoins on the third and fourth storeys, with three nearly flush 12-pane sash windows on each upper storey, complete with painted stone sills and rusticated wedge lintels that have false keystones. A moulded eaves cornice and a parapet with plain stone coping adorn the top.

On the west gable end, there are two replaced windows on the first storey, a nearly flush 12-pane stair sash between the second and third storeys, and a small-pane sash in the attic. The rear of the building is made of old brick in an irregular bond, altered with hard red brick and featuring replaced windows, some of which are set under cambered brick heads. The east side has two replaced doors that provide access to the shop from the City Wall, along with an inserted window; the central doorway is framed by a Georgian case. The attic storey includes a 6-pane flush sash and an inserted small-pane casement. The interiors have not been inspected.
