Description
29 Swan Street is a shop with former offices above, now used for storage. It was built around 1865, and the architect is not known. The building features red brick banding and sandstone dressings, topped with a hipped slate roof in the Ruskinian Gothic style. It stands three storeys tall and has an asymmetrical design with a 1:3 window arrangement. The first bay is gabled and slightly set back, featuring a sawtooth still-band at the first floor and an oversailing parapet with carved foliated sandstone bands.
The ground floor includes a shop front with panelled pilasters on either end, a panelled door to the left with a square overlight, and plate-glass shop windows separated by slender glazing posts. The first and second floors of the main range have arcaded windows with polychrome heads. The first-floor windows have shouldered openings, carved crocketed caps, and two-centered arched relieving arches, while the second-floor windows feature segmental-pointed heads. The set-back bay to the left has a first-floor oriel, and above it is a segmental-pointed window in a steeply-pitched gablet that breaks through a tall parapet, displaying the monogram "M&K" at the apex. The building has steeply-pitched roofs, with a tall side chimney on the left and a cut-down chimney at the junction of the ranges.
