Number 32 Row Number 34 Street

This is a shop and town house, likely dating from the 1770s, located on Bridge Street and Row. It now functions as an office at street level, a shop at Row level, and provides accommodation above. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brickwork with a slate roof running at a right angle to the street, and a hipped front.

The exterior is four storeys high, encompassing both the street and Row levels. The shop front facing the street is modern. The Row front features painted brick piers, cast-iron stick balusters and a rail, a central cast-iron Tuscan column, and stallboard and Row walk surfaces that are covered. A six-panel shop door is also covered. There is a 20-pane sash window with shutters on gudgeon hinges. The stallboard and Row walk ceilings are plastered, and a plain bressumer is present. The third storey has two 12-pane flush sashes with painted sills and rusticated lintels topped with keystones. Above, the fourth storey has two similar sashes with nine panes each. A modillion cornice runs along the top of the building, and a brick chimney is on the north wall. The rear of the building reveals an upper storey window with a flush six-pane sash, and what was formerly a loading door to the south. A coped gable is also visible at the rear.

The undercroft of the building was lined in approximately 1987 and does not have any visible features of interest. The Row storey includes an altered three-panel, part-glazed door leading from the passage to the stair hall, and a similar door to the front room. This front room features a cast-iron grate, a built-in dresser with a double door to a cupboard beneath a range of shaped shelves, dado panelling, a moulded plaster overmantel, a festoon frieze at the head of the north wall, and a cornice. The stair has a panelled dado and a door, with six fielded panels, to a rear room (uninspected). The original open-well open-string stair has shaped brackets, a curtail step, three plinthed and tapered square balusters per step (some replaced), and a swept rail.

The altered third storey includes panelled dado, fluted window architraves, and a good doorcase with a fluted and eared architrave and entablature on consoles with a carved frieze and moulded cornice, accented with dentils. The third-floor stair, spanning three flights, has fretted brackets, square plinthed and fluted newels, three plinthed and fluted square balusters per step, and a swept rail. The fourth storey has been largely renewed.
