91, King Street

This is a late 18th century house, originally with a double-depth plan, that has been altered in the 20th century and is now used as a restaurant. The building is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone, now strap pointed, with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. A large late 19th century brick chimney stack is prominent on the left. It is three storeys high, with a cellar, and has three bays. The facade steps down slightly to the left, where it adjoins number 89, creating an unusual junction. A tall doorway with a plain surround and overlapping cornice marks the left bay; it appears to have been originally taller, suggesting that internal steps were removed. To the right, a large rectangular shop window occupies the second and third bays, its sill overlapping the remains of a former cellar opening. The upper floors have 12-pane sash windows with raised surrounds. Modern scrolled iron brackets support a sign board between the second and third windows on the first floor, and a skylight is set into the roof.
