Description

No. 63 George Street is a merchant's warehouse, now serving as a restaurant and offices, built around 1860 and altered since. The building features sandstone ashlar and red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings, and it has a rectangular plan with an integral loading bay at the rear. Designed in the Italian palazzo style, it stands four storeys over a basement. The facade facing George Street has four bays, while the Dickinson Street side has five bays.

The ground floor is rusticated ashlar with rusticated quoins above, and there are string courses on all floors, a bracketed cornice, and a balustraded parapet. The basement and ground floor of both main facades are designed as a rustic arcade featuring round-headed arches with impost bands and voluted keystones adorned with lion-heads. The doorway on the right has an enriched architrave with an interlaced geometrical surround, a key-block with a herm flanked by swags, and a moulded cornice. The wider loading bay on the left end of the other facade features an enriched segmental archway.

The windows on the first and second floors have shouldered architraves, with swags and cornices above. The third-floor windows have coupled round-headed lights in round-headed architraves, with eagles in the tympani and voluted keystones above. The interior has not been inspected.
