Description

No. 7 Kelvin Street is a small warehouse built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It features hand-made brown brick in English garden wall bond and has a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan on a corner site, with its gable facing the street.

It stands three storeys tall and has a square-headed loading slot on the left side, which is bricked up at the ground floor. There are recessed wooden doorways at the first and second floors, with an altered doorway to the right. The centre of the building has a segmental-headed window with the upper leaf of a 16-pane sash. At the first floor, there are two segmental-headed windows with raised sills and arched heads, now fitted with 4-pane sashes. The second floor features two 3-light windows with raised sills and flat-arched heads. The left return wall has four windows of similar design, with a doorway in the third opening at ground floor that appears to replace a window.

The interior has not been inspected. This building is included as a little-altered example of an early small-scale warehouse.
