Description

No. 62 Gold Street is a workshop and office building from the 19th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is weatherboarded and constructed with red brick, topped by a 20th-century brown cement tiled roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with a carriageway leading to a long yard.

The south front elevation has a central lateral stack with offsets and upper ramped shoulders. On the ground floor, there is a carriageway to the west with a simple 19th-century two-leaved door that is bead-moulded and boarded. To the east, there is an office doorway with a door that has two upper glazed panels and a simple surround. The first floor is weatherboarded and includes a large, simple eight-light fixed window on each side of the stack, along with a two-leaved loading door above the carriageway below; each leaf of the loading door has three-light upper glazing and lower flush bead-moulded panels.

The rear of the building is similar in construction, with timber framing and weatherboarding, and features simple windows and a door that continue at the back and along the yard. Inside, the ground floor is mostly open, with light partitioning where necessary, while the east and west ends are obscured.
