46, Sackville Street

No. 46 Sackville Street is a shipping warehouse built around 1860-1870, currently serving as an upholstery business. The building features red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan situated on a corner site, positioned at right angles to the street, and showcases an eclectic architectural style with Romanesque elements.

The structure is four storeys tall with a basement and has a facade with a 1:3:1 window arrangement, including a chamfered corner on the right. Architectural details include a plinth, a Lombard frieze that separates the second floor from the others, brick pilasters at both levels, sill-bands on all floors, and a wooden eaves cornice supported by moulded stone brackets.

The corner features a segmental-headed doorway with a stilted moulded surround and panelled divided doors. On the first floor, there is a stone canted oriel in Romanesque style, which has a round-headed window with pilaster jambs that have carved caps, a moulded head with a keystone, a Lombard frieze, and a steeply-pitched hipped slate roof. The second floor has a pair of small round-headed windows.

The main facade includes segmental-headed windows on the ground floor, round-headed windows on the first floor, square-headed windows on the second floor, and round-headed windows on the third floor, with most of the windows in the central bay being arcaded. The right-hand return features a Lombard frieze and pilasters similar to the front, with two windows in each bay (either round- or segmental-headed) and a loading bay doorway in the fifth bay. The left side and rear of the building are concealed. This property is included for its group value.
