25-26 Stodman Street

Dwelling constructed in the C18, with ground floor now converted to two retail units in C20 with commercial space above and retaining its central door.

MATERIALS: constructed of brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings, timber sash windows and a slate roof.

PLAN: the building is of four-storeys with two shop units at ground floor level with a central door providing access to the easternmost shopfront and floors above. To the rear, aerial photography shows a dormer attic extension to the west, with a two-storey gable extension to the rear of the northernmost unit.

EXTERIOR: a first-floor sill band runs across the front elevation. There is a five-bay window range. The first and second floors have six-over-six sash windows, the third floor has three-over-three sash windows. A slate roof sits above coved eaves with two side-wall stacks. A central, rusticated round-headed entry doorway at ground floor frames a four-panel door and fanlight, flanked by late-C20 shopfronts. To the east the shopfront is C19 in style, with pilasters, cornice and a three-light window with mullions over stallrisers beneath a timber, hooded canopy. To the west, there are single-pane windows within timber surrounds above stallrisers, with a central, glazed recessed door beneath a plain fascia.
