Description
2 and 4 Bridge Street is a house or houses, later used for commercial purposes, built in the early 19th century.
The street-facing side features stucco on the first and second floors, while the ground floor has a timber shop front. The roof is covered with slate on the eastern slope and lead on the western slope. The windows are made of timber.
The building occupies a quadrant-shaped plot with a curved street front to the northeast. It has three storeys under a pitched roof that it shares with the adjoining property at 1 Castle Street. The ground floor shopfront includes a recessed central doorway flanked by fixed windows with raised and fielded stallrisers, along with a separate entrance to the upper floors at the northernmost end of the elevation. Above the shopfront, the fascia board is supported by a series of paired dentils and features a heavy cornice with a stepped central section, held up at each end by pairs of modillion brackets.
On the first and second floors, there are three evenly spaced windows set in from either end of the elevation. The first-floor windows are six-over-six timber sashes, while the second-floor windows are three-over-six sashes. Each of the second-floor windows is flanked by moulded brackets that rise to a corbelled stucco cornice.
