15-16, DALTON SQUARE

15-16 Dalton Square is a pair of houses, now used as offices and a restaurant, built in the early 19th century and altered in the 20th century. They are constructed of sandstone ashlar and feature a slate roof with gable stacks. The buildings have a double-depth plan, originally with doorways placed together in the central bays and rear wings on either side. They rise three storeys above cellars and each house has two bays. The design includes a shallow plinth, a sill band on the first floor, and an eaves cornice with a low blocking course.

The ground floor of No.16 has been modified with a recent shop front, while No.15 retains its original doorway. This doorway is approached by two-sided steps with nosings and features a plain surround under a cornice, along with a recessed six-panel door that has an overlight. To the left of this doorway, there is a window that is offset to the right, making space for a now blocked doorway further left. This window has plain reveals and a fixed frame designed to resemble sashes with margin lights. Most other windows are sashed without glazing bars, except for those on the second floor of No.15, which have top-hung casements.

Inside No.15, there is a dogleg open-string staircase with scrolled brackets, two stick balusters per tread, and a ramped mahogany handrail.
