Description
46, 48, and 50 Faulkner Street are textile warehouses that have been converted into shops and offices. They were likely built around 1860 and have undergone some alterations. The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. They have a deep rectangular plan that extends back to St James Street, with each building having a single front and loading access at the rear.
The structures feature a basement and three storeys, with a total of three windows on each floor. They have a rusticated plinth, sill bands on the first and second floors, and a moulded cornice. The basement and ground floor are designed as a continuous arcade of round-headed arches with moulded heads and keystones. The doorways are located to the left, with tall segmental-headed basement openings (the openings for number 46 on the right are currently blocked) and round-headed sash windows at ground level. The upper floors have triple segmental-headed sashes set in moulded segmental-headed architraves with keystones.
At the rear, there are unusual open-topped full-height loading slots with a parapet extending across the tops. The buildings form a group with numbers 52 and 54 to the left, and the rear wing of number 16 Nicholas Street to the right.
