Description
Nos. 41 and 43 Faulkner Street is a warehouse built in 1846 by Thomas F. Taylor, with some alterations. The facade is made of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, while the rest of the building is brick, topped with a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan that runs parallel to the street, with loading access at the rear from Reyner Street. The building is designed in a classical style and features a basement and four storeys, organized into five narrow bays in a symmetrical arrangement.
The basement and ground floor are designed to appear rustic, while the first and second floors showcase an unorthodox giant colonnade of fluted Doric columns in antis, complete with deep entablatures and a frieze that includes raised panels and a mutule cornice. The third floor has short coupled pilasters and a frieze adorned with sets of guttae in the soffits of the window reveals, topped with a pediment.
On the ground floor, there is a large square-headed doorway framed by a pilastered architrave, which sits beneath a blind balustrade. The segmental-headed windows on this level are similar in shape to those in the basement, though the opening in the fifth bay has been converted into a door. The upper floors feature square-headed windows, with the central ones being coupled, and all windows are 4-pane sashes. The rear of the building has an altered loading slot. The interior has not been inspected.
