Description
No. 21 Bridge Street is an office building constructed in 1924, showcasing a Vernacular Revival style. It features a brick structure with timber-framed facades and a double-gabled tile roof with brick end stacks. The building stands three storeys tall and has a two-window range, with jettied upper floors and two gables. The entrance is notable for its four-centred head and moulded arch, adorned with carved spandrels that display the initials "NP" on shields. The door is richly decorated with linenfold panels.
On the ground floor, there are six three-light single chamfered-mullioned windows, embellished with vine trails on the transoms. The first floor features projecting three-light transomed windows, while the second floor has similar inset windows, all of which are fitted with leaded glazing. The close-studded framing on the ground floor includes brick-nogged infill and a corner post with a twisted shaft. The first-floor jetty is supported by enriched brackets with masks, and it has a frieze and cornice above the bressumer. The second floor displays crouching figures, including representations of Shakespeare and Hamlet, which serve as brackets, and it features herringbone framing along with rich vine-trail barge-boards.
To the left end, there is a narrow brick section that includes an enriched lead rainwater head with a date and a downspout, as well as an end stack. The right return facing Union Street exhibits similar architectural details, with two five-light and one three-light ground-floor windows, three-light first-floor windows flanking two-light windows, and three-light and single-light windows on the second floor, which lack transoms. The brick right end also has a dated rainwater head and downspout, along with an end stack.
Inside, the building contains adzed posts and beams, along with 17th-century-style panelling. This building is a fine example of the architectural influence of Stratford's Elizabethan heritage, which was being restored during this period, and it occupies an important corner that enhances views down Bridge Street and High Street.
