Description
37 and 39 Low Petergate is a house with a shop that has been converted into a shop and offices. It was built between 1827 and 1828, with a late 19th-century shopfront. The building is made of red brick in English bond and features a timber mutule cornice. The roof is slate with a brick chimney.
The exterior is four stories high with a four-bay curved front. The shopfront is framed by panelled pilasters and has a broad fascia with a dentilled and brattished cornice supported by shaped brackets. It includes plate glass windows with transoms, a glazed corner door with an overlight, and a glazed and panelled door for the upstairs at the left end, separated by fluted Corinthian columns. The shop window sills are concave and display lettering for HARDCASTLE SILVERSMITH and JEWELLER. The windows on the first and second floors are 12-pane sashes, with the first-floor windows being taller. The third floor features squat 6-pane sashes. All windows have painted stone sills and flat arches made of gauged brick.
The interior has not been inspected, but the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England records that many original fittings remain, including a fireplace made of veined black marble and a staircase with square balusters.
