201, St John Street

This building on St John Street began as Nicholson's distillery, later repurposed as offices and warehousing. It dates to around 1828, and was designed by John Blyth. The building is constructed of yellow brick with stucco and stone dressings, and has a roof of artificial slate. It is four stories high, with a basement, and has a thirteen-window facade, with further one-window sections at each end. The ground floor has a stucco plinth with segmental-arched openings. Giant pilasters rise through the first three floors, supporting a deep entablature. Most windows are segmental-arched with gauged brick heads and cast iron, centre-hung, 5/4 casements, set within a recessed brickwork panel between the pilasters. An attic storey has a stepped parapet, with pediments over the fourth and tenth bays, each containing three narrow round-arched windows.

A rear wall in Woodbridge Street, dating to around 1830, is built of yellow brick and stucco. It features a plinth and a broad stucco band, above which is an arcade formed by brick pilasters, supporting a dentil cornice and a former stucco blocking course. Between the pilasters are blank round arches with stucco impost blocks and gauged brick heads. Above the blocking course is a parapet, possibly heightened from its original level, with pilasters continuing as pilaster strips.
