Description

36 Cannon Street is a town house built around 1820, now used for shops and offices, although the top floor was unoccupied at the time of the survey in 1989. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a double-depth single-fronted plan, featuring three storeys over a cellar and two bays.

The façade includes a round-headed doorway on the left, framed by engaged Tuscan columns with square abaci, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice. The door is panelled and has a fanlight with radiating glazing bars. To the right of the doorway is the head of an altered cellar window, and a large 16-pane sash window at ground floor, although the lower leaf is missing some glazing bars. Each upper floor has two 16-pane sashes, all with raised sills and wedge lintels, topped by a moulded gutter cornice. A chimney is located at the junction with No. 37 on the right side.

At the rear, there is a full-height stair window with 20 large panes and a sashed opening at the bottom. Inside, the entrance lobby features a glazed inner door and side windows with coloured margin panes, a moulded plaster cornice with rosettes, and a dog-legged staircase with stick balusters. The ceilings are made of plaster on lath and reed.
