17 AND 19, NEWHALL STREET B3 (See details for further address information)

Nos 17 and 19 Newhall Street, which also includes No 103 Edmund Street, is a Grade I listed building constructed in 1896. It was designed by F Martin (the son) of Martin and Chamberlain for the Bell Edison Company. The building is made of red brick with a tiled roof and stands three storeys tall. It features six bays divided by tall buttresses topped with turrets, plus a seventh bay at the corner facing Edmund Street.

The first bay is similar to the third but wider, with both bays having balconies at the second floor level. The entrance is located in the second bay, which is two bays wide and gabled, accessed via steps behind impressive iron gates and within an arched and gabled porch. Above the entrance is a shallow canted bay window at the first floor level. The fourth and fifth bays are arched and identical, except the fourth bay has a subsidiary entrance for No 17 Newhall Street at ground level. The sixth bay is similar to the fifth but narrower. The ground and first floor windows are simple sashes set within roll-moulded frames, while the second floor windows are casements with arched heads, set within a band of intricately cut brickwork.

On the Edmund Street side, where the entrance to No 103 is located, there are four bays arranged in a 2:2 rhythm. Each bay features a two-storeyed shallow canted bay window within a tall arch, and each pair of bays is topped with a broad shaped gable that has a strikingly vertical chimney stack rising through it.
