Description
Alfred Schofield House, originally built as a sailors' home around 1780 for the Wilson family, is now converted into flats and features attached railings. The building is constructed of brick with a stucco front and ashlar dressings, topped with a hipped slate roof and three brick side wall stacks. It has a plinth and moulded wooden eaves, standing three storeys tall with a five-window range.
The stucco front facing Alfred Gelder Street includes five 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor and five 6-pane sash windows above. There are central steps leading to a wooden doorcase with pilasters, an open pediment, a fielded six-panel door, and a fanlight. On either side of the entrance, there are two 12-pane sash windows. The rear elevation, facing Salthouse Lane, features a plinth, a first-floor band, and a first-floor sill band, with similar fenestration and brick flat arches.
The central steps at the rear have renewed convex wrought-iron balustrades and area railings. A portico at the rear is supported by two freestanding and two attached Doric columns, featuring an enriched frieze and a dentillated pediment. It has a 20th-century fielded six-panel door with an overlight, flanked by two 12-pane sash windows. Beyond the portico, there are concave screen walls that end in square brick pavilions, all with slab coping. The pavilions have blocked round-arched openings with imposts and lintels. The right return of the building has a pair of glazing bar sash windows in the centre on each floor. The building was restored in 1988.
