Description
No. 8 St Mark Street is a house that has been converted into a shop and flat. It dates from the early 19th century and is built from Flemish bond brick, featuring channelled stucco rustication on the ground floor. The building has a slate roof and a brick chimney. It has a two-room plan with a central staircase and stands three storeys high, with a two-window range facing North Tenter Street.
The façade is adorned with scrolled acanthus brackets that flank a dentilled cornice above a late 19th-century shop front, which includes a mid-20th-century door. There are gauged brick flat arches over 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, which are set in semicircular arched recesses, and similar arches over 12-pane sash windows on the second floor. The return to Mark Street features a three-window range with panelled double doors set in keyed semi-circular arched architraves, while the upper floors have blind windows, except for a 12-pane sash above the door.
The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of a group of four symmetrically-placed entrance blocks at each end of Mark Street.
