Description
No. 40 Chapel Street is a warehouse and office block dated 1860, located on a corner site with Peckover Street, designed by Andrews and Pepper. The building is three storeys tall with a semi-basement, constructed of sandstone "brick" featuring horizontal V rustication at the basement, which is capped by a ground floor sill course. The upper floors have sill bands, and there is a modillion bracket eaves cornice. The corner of the block is slightly inset and bowed. It has a hipped slate roof and a large corniced chimney stack.
There are five windows facing Chapel Street, seven on Peckover Street, and one on the bowed corner, all featuring close set revealed sashes with a central glazing bar. The basement windows have cambered arches with key blocks, while the ground floor windows also have cambered arches with architrave surrounds. A large semi-circular arched portal, similar to that of the adjacent No. 38, features a crest against the fanlight and spaced voussoirs. This building occupies an important corner site.
