51 Watergate Street and 59 Watergate Row South

A shop and town house, now used as offices and possibly a flat, was rebuilt in the early to mid-18th century. The Watergate Street front is sandstone, partly rendered, while the Watergate Row elevation is Flemish bond brown brick above a sandstone base. The building is four storeys high with a gable facing the street. A modern shopfront and entrance are present on Watergate Street. On Watergate Row, a central Tuscan column supports a wooden rail with turned balusters. A late Georgian shopfront features a four-pane window above two broad panels, with pilasters, frieze, and cornice. A small, camber-arched opening is located in the right-hand pier of the Row elevation. Each upper storey has two flush twelve-pane sash windows set within gauged brick arches; the third-floor windows have projecting keystones formed of three shaped bricks. The brickwork above the fourth-floor windows has been rebuilt. A modern brick extension obscures the rear. In June 1989, No. 59 Watergate Row was unoccupied, and access to the upper floors was not possible.
