Warehouse. 1846, by Thomas F. Taylor; altered. Facade of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, otherwise brick, with slate roof. Rectangular plan parallel to street, with loading at rear (from Reyner Street). Classical style. Basement and four storeys, five narrow bays, symmetrical, the basement and ground floor treated as a rustic, the first and second floors as an unorthodox giant colonnade of fluted Doric columns in antis with deep entablatures and frieze including raised panels and mutuled cornice, the third floor with short coupled pilasters and a frieze with sets of guttae in the soffits of the window reveals, and a pediment. The ground floor has a large square-headed doorway with pilastered architrave under a blind balustrade, and segmental-headed windows (similar shaped openings to the basement, but that in the 5th bay now a door); the upper floors all have square-headed windows, those in the centre coupled; and all these windows are 4-pane sashes. Rear: altered loading slot. Interior not inspected.
