Description
Former shophouse built in the early C19. Late-C19 rear extensions partly demolished and replaced by C20 single-storey extension.
MATERIALS: principal elevation of grey brick headers with red brick dressings. The rear, C20 extension is cement-rendered. The roof over the principal range is slate-covered.
PLAN: 101 London Street comprises four ranges, including the original, three-storey plus basement and attic street-facing range, followed by two later three-storey extensions running as cross-wings from its rear, east elevation, and terminated by a long, later-C20, single-storey range to the east.
EXTERIOR: the principal (west) elevation has a modern shopfront with a bow window and glazed door, with a deep timber fascia above. The first and second floors each contain a single two-over-two, margin glazed, sash window, topped by a gauged brick arch. Both windows and quoins are dressed in red brick.
The roof over the principal range is steeply pitched with its slopes oriented east-west. The later-C19 extension to the rear is spanned by a pitched roof with slopes oriented north-south. The easternmost, C20 extension is covered by a flat roof.
