Description
This is an early 18th-century brick house, originally built as a home, later used as a school. It is a three-story building of red brick with eight sash windows on each floor, each window featuring keyblocks and channelled lintels. The central section of the front facade projects forward, incorporating four windows. A decorative sill band runs along the first storey. A projecting stone porch, designed in a Greek Ionic style, adjoins a 19th-century stucco bay, with the frieze and cornice of the porch being continued over the bay. A side entrance is accentuated by pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, topped with a rectangular fanlight. The building is crowned by a moulded stone cornice and a parapet, and covered with slate tiles. The building forms a group with numbers 60A, 61 to 67, and 66A and 67A Chestnut House.
