2, St Mark Street

No 2 on St Mark Street is a house that has been converted into a restaurant. It was built in the early 19th century and features Flemish bond brickwork with channelled stucco rustication on the ground floor. The building has a slate roof and a brick chimney stack. It has a two-room layout with a central staircase and stands four storeys tall. The front facade facing Alie Street has a two-window range, with mid to late 19th-century plate-glass sash windows set in square-headed architraves on the ground floor. Above, there are gauged brick flat arches over 12-pane first-floor sashes located in semicircular arched recesses, as well as gauged brick flat arches over mid to late 19th-century four-pane second-floor sashes and 12-pane third-floor sashes. The return facade on Mark Street features a similar three-window range, with an early 19th-century door set in a semicircular arched architrave, flanked by two sash windows and blind windows on the upper floors. Inside, the staircase has had its balustrade removed. This building is part of a group of four symmetrically-placed entrance blocks at each end of Mark Street.
