Description

This building is a row of three townhouses, now functioning as shops and a restaurant, likely dating from the late 18th century and altered over time. Constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with some sandstone detailing, it features a slate roof. The layout is double-depth, with No. 89 in the center being double-fronted, while the other two are single-fronted. The row stands three storeys tall and has a window arrangement of 2:3:2.

At the ground floor of No. 87, there is a modern shop front, alongside a round-headed doorway with an open-pedimented Tuscan pilaster doorcase. Nos. 89 and 91 each have round-headed doorways with set-in fluted-pilaster doorcases. The ground floor windows have been altered, while the first and second floors feature 4-pane sash windows, with the second-floor windows being square in shape. All windows have raised sills and flat-arched heads. The building also has large multiple-flue lateral chimney stacks. The interior has not been inspected. This row represents a rare survival of Georgian domestic architecture in the city center.
