Description

Fogarty Feathers is a factory built in 1877, now used as a warehouse or store. The building is constructed of red brick with stucco dressings and features a slate roof with wall stacks.

The exterior has a three-storey front with a stepped brick plinth and moulded brick cornices between the floors. There is a heavily moulded and decorated stucco and brick cornice at the panelled parapet, which includes a central feather motif with a plaque bearing the date, topped by a large painted stucco statue of a swan. The eleven-bay front is arranged in a pattern of 1:3:3:3:1, with full-height panelled pilasters that have stucco cornices.

On the ground floor, there is a central 20th-century double-glazed door with a round-headed arch, flanked by pilasters and narrow round-headed lights. The bays on either side contain three two-light windows, and at each end, there is a single 20th-century glazed door with sidelights and an overlight. The first floor features a central wider two-light window with a heavy pierced cast-iron guardrail, flanked by four slightly narrower windows, with a single broader window at each end. The second floor mirrors this arrangement but with reduced height; the windows are paired and have central twisted iron half-column mullions, appearing either round-arched or flat-headed with spandrels, and are set in triple-arched recesses with keystones.

The interior has not been inspected.
