31 and 32, Parliament Street

31 and 32 Parliament Street are two houses with shops, built between 1836 and 1839, featuring later alterations and 19th-century shopfronts. They are constructed from pink-grey mottled brick in Flemish bond and have a moulded timber eaves cornice. The buildings have brick stacks on a hipped slate roof with angle scrolls.

The exterior is four storeys high with a three-window front. The shopfront for No.31 includes sunk panel pilasters, a broad fascia with a dentil cornice, and a half-glazed door with plate glass windows above raised panel risers. There is a recessed panelled door and overlight in a panelled reveal at the right end. The shopfront for No.32 is framed in pilasters with imposts, featuring a sloped fascia and a bold moulded cornice that incorporates blind boxes, with a half-glazed door located on the corner.

The windows on the first and second floors are 12-pane sashes, while the third floor has unequal 9-pane sashes, all with painted stone sills and flat brick arches. A fluted bowl rainwater head is located at the left end of the cornice. The right return of the building is four storeys tall with irregular fenestration. The shopfront for No.32 continues around the corner, partly blocked by painted brick, and features a pilastered doorcase to the right of centre. Most windows are 12-pane sashes, with unequal 9-pane sashes on the third floor, and there are blind openings at the left end of the second and third floors. The interior has not been inspected.
