Description
59 and 61 Faulkner Street is a building in Manchester, likely originally a milliner's shop and workshop, now serving as a restaurant and shop. It dates from the mid-19th century and has been altered over time. The structure is made of red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings, and it has a rectangular plan that extends back to Reyner Street.
The building has a cellar, three storeys, and an attic, featuring a four-window facade. There is a cornice above the ground floor, a modillioned cornice over the second floor, and a high parapet with continuous workshop windows between corner pilasters. The ground floor includes a main doorway in the third bay, framed by a stone architrave with broad pilasters that have debased Ionic capitals, along with a panelled frieze beneath a cornice on coupled consoles. Flanking the main doorway are windows with similar architraves, a large doorway to the left (possibly inserted) with panelled double doors, and a low segmental-headed doorway to the right leading to the cellar.
The first and second floors feature diminishing rectangular windows with raised sills and gauged brick heads; the first-floor windows are sashed, while those on the second floor have altered glazing. The attic has a row of five two-light workshop windows. A ridge chimney is present on the roof. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, number 59 was occupied by a milliner in 1852, making this building an unusual surviving example of its type. It forms a group with number 57 to the left.
