Description
19A King Street is a showrooms and warehouse building, likely dating from the late 19th century, designed in a Classical style. The exterior features painted rusticated stone on the first storey, with hard red brick above, and a grey slate roof that runs parallel to the street.
The building stands three storeys tall. The first storey includes a central tripartite sash window with 8:12:8 panes, flanked by framed and diagonally boarded double vehicle doors on the east side and late 20th-century hardwood glazed showroom doors on the west side, all set under a segmental arch with large voussoirs. A plain painted band marks the second storey floor level. The second and third storeys are constructed in English garden wall bond and feature six double-square 20-pane metal hopper windows with bevelled reveals and cambered heads on the second storey. A decorative band at the third storey floor level includes a recessed dogtooth course between two projecting courses with an oversailing moulded course. The third storey has six shorter windows similar to those on the second storey, each with 16 panes.
At the rear, there is a long yard with a two-storey outshut along the north side and two-storey storage buildings on the west and south sides, all made of brown brick with grey slate roofs and small-paned wood windows that are horizontally proportioned. There are also four similar windows on the top storey of the main block, located above the lean-to roof of the outshut.
The interior does not have any identified features of special interest. The building is included for its group value as a well-detailed and unaltered part of the streetscape.
