Description

60 Parker Street is a workshop building, likely linked to the coach building trade, which later became part of a printing and publishing operation and eventually served as offices. It was constructed after 1815 and before 1828, with some alterations made in the late 19th century to the rear windows, a 20th-century shopfront, and various internal modifications.

The exterior is made of stock brick and features a stone parapet. The pitched slate roof has a central glazed panel that is concealed by the parapet. The building stands four storeys tall, with the three upper floors showcasing five-light continuous windows that have wooden architraves and timber tilt and turn sashes, retaining original crown glass at the front. The second-floor windows contain 24 panes, while the first and third floors have 16 panes. The left side lights of the first and second-floor windows have been later subdivided, likely to accommodate toilet facilities. Full-height brick pilasters are present at both ends. The ground floor has a late 20th-century wooden shopfront designed in a traditional style, featuring a deep moulded fascia and central pilasters, along with a three-bay shopfront that includes multi-pane windows and an eight-panelled door with a low letterbox. The rear elevation is also constructed of stock brick, with end full-height pilasters and original wooden architraves, although late 19th-century wooden casements with pivoting tops have been added. A door on the first floor originally led to a two-storey rear extension, most of which has been demolished, leaving only some cast iron columns. The ground floor includes a right-side round-headed entrance.

Inside, the ground floor was subdivided in the late 20th century with plasterboard partitions. Each floor features floorboards set on two large axial beams that span 7 metres and have chamfers with run-out stops, dating to the early 19th century. The front beam on the ground floor has a two-inch chamfer and is likely a replaced reused beam. The stairs between floors are basic open tread without a handrail. The top floors narrow towards the right side of the rear elevation over a cambered arch, likely to allow light into nearby existing buildings. The roof, dating from the early 19th century, features a scientific kingpost design with purlins, a ridgepiece, rafters, and a central glazed panel.
