Description
32 Dickinson Street is a commercial building, now used as offices, dating from around 1860 to 1880. The ground floor is made of sandstone ashlar, while the upper levels are constructed from red brick with sandstone dressings. The building is situated on a corner site with an irregular parallelogram shape and features a chamfered corner. It has four storeys above a cellar, with five bays on both facades plus the corner.
The design includes a plinth and channelled rusticated piers on the ground floor, with brick pilasters on the upper floors. There are decorative bands at the first floor and cornices at the second floor, along with a bracketed eaves cornice that slightly steps out over the pilasters. The corner doorway is square-headed and is located beneath a balustraded balcony on the first floor. There is another square-headed doorway at the end of the building, while the other bays feature large rectangular windows with altered glazing. The upper floors have coupled windows, with those on the first floor having stilted segmental heads and stone mullions, the second floor featuring shaped heads and stone mullions, and the third floor having round-headed windows. All windows are sashed without glazing bars. The rear and interior of the building were not inspected. This building is included for its group value.
