Description
Numbers 58-66 Street is a terrace of five town houses built in 1852 by Edward Hodkinson, likely acting as both architect and developer. The site incorporates the undercroft of the earlier timber-framed Mainwaring mansion, and the building now serves as a restaurant, shop, offices, and three flats. The construction is primarily brown Flemish bond brick with stucco, sandstone, and blue brick dressings; the rear is of brown brick, potentially incorporating older fabric. The roof is grey slate, running parallel to the street.
The undercrofts are rendered and have been altered to accommodate a double door with sidelights, two fixed windows, and a single fixed window for numbers 58-64, while the undercroft at number 66 retains its original boarded loading doors within a segmental-arched opening, together with a cast-iron area railing. Recessed round-arched porches are paired to numbers 58 & 60, and numbers 62 & 64, featuring stucco pilaster cases, moulded imposts and archivolts, stone steps, and doors with varying panel configurations – bolection-moulded six-panel doors to numbers 58 and 66, part-glazed panelled doors to numbers 60 and 62, and a plate-glass door with an inner glazed two-panel door to number 64. Windows, aside from those in the undercrofts, are framed by blue-brick segmental arches; stone sills are present on the Row-level and fourth storey, with a moulded sillband on the third storey. The fourth-storey windows are four-pane sashes in paired openings. Numbers 58, 62, and 66 feature a front gable, while numbers 60 and 64 have gablets. Each gable is detailed with stone kneelers, copings, and finials. The rear elevation is in a late Georgian style with recessed sashes of 12, 9 and 6 panes. Brick ridge chimneys are topped with shaped stone caps.
The undercrofts are barrel-vaulted, with recesses at the front of those at numbers 58 and 64. Numbers 58 and 66 have newel stairs in a Jacobean style, and number 66 features six-panel doors. The upper storeys of numbers 60-64 were not inspected. The building is included on the list due to the survival of the undercrofts.
