37, High Street

No. 37 High Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built in the mid to late 18th century and has undergone some alterations since then. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a hipped plain tile roof that is mostly hidden behind a brick parapet and a deep painted cornice with modillions. There are brick stacks at both ends.

The exterior is three storeys high and includes a cellar. It has a three-window range with two wings at the rear. There are sill-bands, and the central bay slightly projects forward, featuring sash windows on each upper floor. The second floor has 3/3 pane windows, while the first floor has 6/6 pane windows, all with painted channelled voussoirs and keystones. The outer bays on the second floor have Diocletian windows with painted surrounds, a central 3/3 sash window, and two-pane side-lights. Below, there are two-storey canted bay windows with swept lead roofs, featuring 4/4, 6/6, and 4/4 sashes, along with painted moulded cornices.

At the centre of the ground floor, two small cambered-headed lights flank the entrance, which is framed by a Classical architrave with three-quarter Ionic columns and a dentilled open pediment. The round-arched door surround has a panelled reveal, a fanlight with radial glazing bars, a six-panel door, decorative wrought-iron handrails, and four stone steps with nosing. The building has a painted brick plinth with blocked cellar openings and a clock mounted on a bracket projecting from the centre of the first floor.

The rear of the building features a long right-hand wing with timber and render on the left side, while the left-hand wing is partly constructed of chequered blue and red brick. Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters located in the rear right, a moulded elliptical arch in the hall, and some dado rails, shutters, and panelled reveals. The north wing contains a former billiard room.

Historically, the building was originally constructed for a tanning family, with a tannery located at the rear. Records indicate that it was rebuilt around 1800. The District Council occupied the building from 1937 to 1990, and some of the decoration and furnishings that were removed during that time were restored in 1992. The design of No. 37 High Street is related to that of nearby Caldewell, located near Pershore.
