Description
Rutland House is a building located on High Street in Southwold, originally constructed in 1832 for Joseph Edwards, a banker. It has served various purposes over the years, including as a banking house with domestic quarters and later as a post office, and is now divided into two shops. The structure is made of gault brick and features a slate roof with two brick stacks on the rear slope.
The exterior showcases a two-storey, three-bay front, with the bays marked by pilaster strips that rise to a prominent moulded eaves cornice. There are three shop fronts at ground level. The first floor is illuminated by three 6/6 unhorned sash windows, each set within eared surrounds topped with pediments. The interior has a character typical of the 20th century.
