Description
41 South King Street is a shop with an office above, now linked with No. 56 King Street. The building features painted brick with stone dressings and a slate roof, and has a narrow rectangular plan that runs at right angles to the street. It showcases an eclectic architectural style with some Gothic elements.
The structure has three storeys and an attic, with four windows. The ground floor has a cornice, while the first floor features a Gothic frieze. The second floor is adorned with a Lombard frieze and an egg-and-dart cornice, and there are four round-headed dormers in the attic. Each main floor has arcaded openings: the ground and first floors have round-headed arches, while the second floor has stilted-segmental arches. The ground floor arcade includes a doorway to the left and original shop windows with twisted coupled shafts, knobbly caps, and moulded heads with carved keyblocks. The first-floor arcade is supported by panelled pilasters with carved crocket capitals and moulded arched heads with keystones. The second floor features coupled colonnettes with crocket caps and hoodmoulds with keystones. The building also contains an entrance to the offices on the upper floors of No. 56 King Street.
Originally listed as No. 45, the address was amended on November 4, 1976.
