36, CHAPEL STREET (See details for further address information)

No. 36 Chapel Street is a large four-storey warehouse and office block, built around 1870-71 and designed by Andrews and Delanney. The building features very grooved horizontal rustication on the ashlar ground floor and partial basement, topped with a moulded sill course on the first floor. There are sill bands on the upper floors and console brackets supporting the projecting eaves cornice. The hipped slate roof has an Italianate corniced chimney stack. The broad nine-bay front has closely set segmental arched windows on the ground and first floors. The ground floor windows have panelled aprons with recessed surrounds and keystones above the arches. The first-floor windows are adorned with an impost band that extends over the arches, with incised panels in between. There is an off-centre segmental arched waggon way and a long semi-circular arched office portal at the north end bay, featuring double doors with moulded panels, a carved lintel on profiled consoles, and a crest set in front of the fanlight. The arch has spaced voussoirs and a keystone with a mask breaking through the sill course. Additionally, there is a three-storey, three-window extension with an open ground floor that links to No. 30. The date "1871" is marked on No. 36.
