Description
Brazil House is a pair of shipping warehouses, now used as offices, built around 1870-1880 and altered since. The structure is made of yellow brick with sandstone dressings and has a trapeziform plan situated at right angles to the street, featuring a rear loading bay. The building showcases an eclectic architectural style with some Gothic elements. It stands four storeys tall over basements and has a symmetrical façade with two sets of two windows, where the outer windows are tripartite.
Key features include a chamfered plinth, saw-tooth sill-bands on all floors, and impost bands on all floors except the top one, topped with a heavily bracketed cornice. The ground floor features tall coupled doorways in the center, framed by pilaster jambs and carved stiff-leaf imposts, with five-stepped segmental-arched heads that include keyblocks. These doorways are flanked by tripartite windows that have segmental-arched center lights and moulded surrounds with stiff-leaf imposts.
The upper floors contain square-headed tripartite windows in the outer bays and single-light windows above the doors, with the first and second floors featuring pilaster jambs and the lower ones having stilted moulded heads. All windows are sashed without glazing bars. The roof has a lift-head, while the return sides are simpler, with windows grouped in sets of four, four, four, and two, and loading bay entrances at the rear. The building forms a group with No. 103 to the left and No. 109 to the right.
