45 Stodman Street

A late-C19 house, now restaurant.

MATERIALS: red brick.

PLAN: rectangular with shorter ends to east and west and front elevation facing north to Stodman Street. Extensions to the rear.

EXTERIOR: the building is of three storeys with a pitched roof and an external stack to its west gable. A stretcher bond brick ground floor shopfront was inserted in 1989. This has three large vertical windows flanked to the left by a glazed door and to the right by a solid timber door. A horizontal strip of timber cladding spans the building above the frieze of the shopfront. The first and second floors are red-brick in Flemish bond. The first floor has two recessed arches within pilasters. Each arch has springing stones and a keystone in limestone and houses a pair of single-pane horned sash windows which interrupt two horizontal limestone bands. The paired windows are separated by a stone mullion and share a stone lintel and cill.

At second floor level are two pairs of single-pane sashes with chamfered stone mullions and stepped limestone surrounds whose cills extend into a decorative limestone band which spans the whole front of the building. There is a pointed brick detail at eaves level. The building has a two-storey extension to the rear which has a single gable stack.
