No. 49, Faulkner Street

No. 49 Faulkner Street is a cotton goods warehouse, now functioning as a Chinese supermarket, built around 1850 and altered since. It features red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings, and has a rectangular plan that extends back to Reyner Street at the rear. The building is designed in a Georgian style, comprising a basement and four storeys with four bays. Notable architectural elements include rusticated quoins, an impost band at the ground floor, sill-bands on the upper floors, and a prominent cornice supported by tall brackets. The ground floor has a round-headed doorway on the left, which includes pilaster jambs, a fluted lintel, moulded imposts that run out, a semicircular fanlight, and a moulded head with a keystone. The tall windows feature unusual two-stage pilastered architraves. The upper floor windows all have shouldered architraves, with those on the first and second floors having modillioned lintels, while the third floor windows are segmental headed. The interior has not been inspected.
