Description
14 Latham Street is a town house, likely built around 1880. It features red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone and tile decorations, and a slate roof. The building has a double-depth single-fronted plan with a back extension and stands three storeys tall over a cellar.
On the first floor, there are two windows, and three decorative bands between the upper windows made of strips of tile beneath projected headers, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice. The ground floor includes a round-headed doorway on the left and two closely grouped round-headed 4-pane sashed windows on the right. These have broad panelled pilaster architraves with keystones and inlaid strips and bands of tiling, featuring nail-head detailing at the top, and heavy sills on brackets, although these details are obscured by white paint.
The upper floors have segmental-headed 4-pane sashes, with the second-floor windows being shorter. All upper windows have similar sills and pilasters, with the first-floor windows featuring stilted heads made of gauged brick with keystones. The building has gable chimneys. The rear and interior were not inspected. It is stylistically similar to the adjacent No. 15 on the right.
