Description
This leatherworks dates from around 1900. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings, cast-iron and wood top storey, and a Welsh blue-slate roof. The building follows the slope of the hill, with five storeys facing Park Road and four facing Clyde Street.
The entrance front on Clyde Street has four bays with corner pilasters. The first bay features a doorway with an architrave and overlight, alongside a small arched window. The second bay has a doorway with monolithic jambs, consoles, a cornice and an inner moulded surround with a fanlight. The third and fourth bays have windows with segmental lintels and consoles. A rectangular window with projecting sills is at the first floor level, above the lintels is a heavy cyma-moulded cornice with shaped brackets. This cornice runs around the building also supporting the slightly set-back top double storey, which contains four bays of louvred timber walling and two tiers of 8-pane swivel windows. Each bay is divided by cast-iron columns which support the eaves gutter. The roof is hipped with two louvred ventilators.
Attached to the rear is a four-storey water tower with a plated iron tank on top. The left-hand return has six bays, with large doorways in the third and fifth bays and windows similar to those on the front. The right-hand return has seven bays of windows similar to the ground and first floors, with basket-arched windows to the basement. A lateral stack is located between the second and third bays.
The top floor, formerly a leather drying room, has a fish-bone king-post roof with cast-iron spandrels bolted onto the principal rafters, and cast-iron columns. Cast-iron girders support wooden floor joists on each floor. Offices are located on the entrance front.
