15, 16 AND 17, ROUGIER STREET

The building at 15, 16, and 17 Rougier Street comprises two houses and a shop, built around 1842. It is constructed of pink-grey mottled brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with timber doorcases and a shopfront, and features a timber modillion eaves cornice and a slate hipped roof with brick stacks.

The front facing Rougier Street has three storeys and four windows. A shopfront, extending from Tanner's Moat, includes a glazed and panelled door with an overlight in a canted corner. Numbers 15 and 16 have doors of four sunk panels with cross-glazed overlights, set within plain doorcases featuring pilasters with moulded imposts and cornices. One ground floor window is a 16-pane sash with shutters; the other is boarded up. The first floor has 12-pane sashes, and the second floor has squat 6-pane sashes, except for the window above the door to number 16, which is blind. All windows have flat arches and painted stone sills.

The side elevation onto Tanner's Moat is three storeys high with two windows. The shopfront there includes plain pilasters with moulded imposts, a plain frieze, a dentilled cornice, and grooved consoles capped with segmental gablets, supporting plate glass windows in moulded surrounds above painted risers. The first and second floor windows mirror those on the Rougier Street front.

The shop interior has a 19th-century dado and shelving. The interior of number 15 is not described in detail. The building is historically significant and is included on the list for the first time.
