130, St James's Street

This is a corner house located on St James's Street, dating to approximately 1820. It is constructed of stucco, with a roof hidden behind a parapet. The building is three storeys high with an attic. The main elevation has a single-window range, increasing to four windows on the return. Most of the window openings are flat-arched, with the exception of those noted. The ground floor features a 20th-century shop front that is unremarkable. A party wall, the corner, and the rear of the return are marked by giant Composite order pilasters rising to the first and second floors. These pilasters support a continuous entablature, which is banded and continues as a parapet to the attic storey.

A two-storey bay, originally segmental, is centred in the main elevation between the pilasters. In the late 19th century, this was replaced with a canted, cast-iron bay incorporating tripartite windows. These windows have quadrant corners in the centre and round-arched windows to the sides. Glazed transoms on these windows retain traces of early 20th-century commercial lettering. The second-floor bay has tripartite windows with original design sashes: 6x6 panes to the centre and 4x4 panes to the sides. The attic window is also tripartite, with original design sashes: 3x6 panes to the centre and 2x4 panes to the sides.

There are two entrances at either end of the return, each framed by Tuscan pilasters and an entablature. These feature banded rustication and two windows with panelled spandrels. The corner window range is blocked. The first and second floor windows on the return have projecting sills, with the first floor also featuring recessed spandrels. A segmental bay, extending only to the first floor, is present in the fourth-window range. Many of the sashes on the return are of original design. Specific sash configurations are noted for the third-window range on the second floor (3x6 panes), the attic floor (3x6 panes), the fourth-window range on the second floor (6x6 centre, 4x4 sides), and the fourth-window range on the attic floor (3x6 centre, 2x4 sides). The interior has not been inspected.
