Description
The Queen Insurance Building is an office block constructed in the 1880s. It features a combination of brick and dressed stone, with a granite ground floor and a slate roof. The building stands four storeys tall and includes small dormers, measuring five bays wide.
On the ground floor, there are three wide, four-centred arches with keystones. The right arch is filled with a modern shop, while the left and centre arches serve as an arcade entrance leading to Queen Avenue, adorned with decorated iron tympana. The first floor showcases cross windows that are separated by Corinthian pilasters, topped with a low relief frieze. The second floor has similar windows, but with shallow cusping in their heads and Ionic half-columns between them, along with a plain frieze and cornice above. The top floor features a depressed frieze and a larger dentilled cornice at the top, with dormers on the mansard roof.
