Description
27 Sackville Street is a textile warehouse built around 1870-1880. It is constructed from red brick with sandstone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a shallow rectangular plan and is situated at the end of a block, parallel to the street, with a loading bay located in the right-hand return wall. It stands four storeys tall over a basement and has nine windows.
The exterior includes a punch-dressed plinth, a channelled ground floor, and sill-bands on all floors, with the first-floor band supported by a brick corbel table. An elaborate brick-bracketed frieze sits below a prominent moulded stone cornice. The doorway at the left end features panelled double doors and an ornate stone overlight with two round-headed lights, small shafts, and various decorative elements, all framed by a rectangular surround of carved square panels.
The windows are sashed without glazing bars, arranged in alternate pairs. The ground floor windows have stone lintels supported by bands of small brick brackets, while the first-floor windows have segmental arched heads adorned with stone imposts, keystones, and hoodmoulds. The upper floors feature windows with plain stone lintels. The basement openings are segmental-arched and include iron railings.
The return walls have four windows, with the left side matching the main style and featuring coupled windows in the center. The right side has a segmental-headed loading bay doorway near the rear corner, a very narrow tall doorway to the left, and segmental-headed windows on the upper floors. This building is a small and largely unaltered example of a textile warehouse and continues to function as one.
