Description
Number 61 is a house, drawing office, and workshop built in the late 19th century. The structure features red Flemish-bond brick with a hipped slate roof, a central stack, and an additional stack at the rear. The workshop is constructed from black weatherboarded timber-framing topped with a gabled corrugated iron roof.
The house has two storeys and a two-window range, with a catslide roof at the rear. The front of the house displays sash windows on the first floor, which have margin glazing bars and segmental heads. On the ground floor, there is one similar window and a tall doorcase with plain pilasters, a moulded hood on consoles, and a rectangular fanlight that is now boarded up. The south-west flank features three similar sash windows, while the north-east flank has two.
The black weatherboarded workshop on the north-east side includes a pair of large doors with a loft hatch above, along with one single-light and one two-light casement window. The north-east end elevation has an asymmetrical gable with a loft door, a hoist spar, and three 20th-century two-light windows. Detached to the left (south-west) is the drawing office, a small single-storey weatherboarded building with a slate roof and a gable end facing the road, which contains a 16-pane sash window.
The interior has not been inspected. This property was associated with John Howard, a well-known barge and boat builder.
