39-73, Marchmont Street

This is a terrace of 18 houses, numbered 39 to 73, on Marchmont Street. The houses were built around 1801 to 1806. They are primarily constructed of yellow stock brick, though numbers 45, 61, and 63 are stuccoed. The buildings are four storeys high with cellars, and each house originally had two windows. The ground floors have been altered later in the 19th and 20th centuries to create shops. The brickwork is gauged and mostly reddened, with flat arches above the recessed sash windows, some of which retain their original glazing bars. The buildings have parapets.

Number 43 retains an original wooden shopfront with pilasters and brackets supporting a projecting cornice. The shop window has been altered. A round-arched house doorway has fluted jambs, lionhead stops, a cornice head, a fanlight, and a panelled door, along with a shop doorway also featuring a fanlight and panelled door. Number 45 has architraved, recessed sash windows, a stucco cornice, and a blocking course. Numbers 57 and 59 have mid-19th century wooden shopfronts with pilasters supporting an entablature with a dentil cornice, flanked by enriched consoles. The shop window of number 59 has segmental-arched lights. The square-headed house doorways have an overlight and a panelled door (number 57, 20th century). Number 57 also features a wrought-iron sign bracket at first floor level. Numbers 61 and 63 have recessed sash windows with architraves and cornices, with bracketed stucco cornices at the third floor. Numbers 65 to 73 have enriched fascia consoles. Number 69 has a plaque reading "St. G.B. 1817" and number 71 has a plaque reading "S PP 1791". The interiors have not been inspected.
