49-52 Rawstorne Street

The property comprises a terrace of four houses built between 1789 and 1790. They were developed by Thomas Rawstorne, a brickmaker. The houses are constructed of yellow brick laid in Flemish bond, with stucco detailing and roofs hidden behind a parapet. They are arranged over three storeys, with numbers 49 and 50 each having a single window range, and numbers 51 and 52 each having two windows. Number 49 features a ground-floor shop front with pilasters, fascia, and cornice. Number 50 has a modern stucco finish to the ground floor incorporating banded rustication and a flat-arched entrance with a replacement doorcase and overlight. Numbers 51 and 52 have stuccoed and scored ground and first floors to resemble ashlar, with round-arched entrances defined by impost blocks and a cornice, and simple doorcases and gauged brick heads respectively. Windows on the ground floor of numbers 51 and 52 are cambered-arched, while those above at numbers 49 and 50 are flat-arched with gauged brick heads. Numbers 51 and 52 have cambered arched windows with gauged brick heads. The building has a parapet.

The return elevation to Hermit Street (for number 49) displays one cambered-arched window to each of the first and second floors. A two-storey rear extension has flat-arched windows on both the ground and first floors, and a round-arched entrance with a gauged brick head.
