Description
101 London Street is a former shophouse built in the early 19th century. It has late 19th century rear extensions that have been partly demolished and replaced by a 20th century single-storey extension.
The main front of the building features grey brick headers with red brick dressings, while the rear 20th century extension is cement-rendered. The roof of the main section is covered with slate.
The layout of 101 London Street includes four parts: the original three-storey building with a basement and attic facing the street, two later three-storey extensions that extend as cross-wings from the rear east side, and a long single-storey range from the late 20th century to the east.
On the principal (west) elevation, there is a modern shopfront with a bow window and glazed door, topped by a deep timber fascia. The first and second floors each have a single two-over-two, margin glazed, sash window, which is topped by a gauged brick arch. Both the windows and the quoins are dressed in red brick.
The roof of the main section is steeply pitched, with slopes running east-west. The later 19th century extension at the rear has a pitched roof with slopes oriented north-south, while the easternmost 20th century extension features a flat roof.
