Description
No. 16 Prince Albert Street is a house that was converted into shops in the early to mid 19th century. Since 1989, it has been restored as a restaurant and commercial offices and is part of the Nile Pavilions Complex, designed by the Robin Clayton Partnership. The building dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century and is constructed of brick in Flemish bond, featuring a stucco cement-faced shop front on the ground floor. The roof is parapeted.
The exterior has a four-window range with a two-window range on the return side. It stands three storeys high over a basement, stepping down to two storeys on the longer elevation. The corner plan on the first and second floors is segmental and rebated one brick's thickness. All windows are camber arched and have projecting sills. The entrance is located on the corner and is set within the shop front, which is framed by coupled Tuscan pilasters and features a continuous entablature. The entablature is made of brick and has a brick dentil cornice. This listing only applies to the outer walls of the building and does not include the two-storey brick structure to the north or the shop front north of the fourth-window range, which is a reproduction of the original.
No. 16 forms a group with Nos. 3-8, 10-13, 15, and 17-17A Prince Albert Street.
