10 Gun Street

10 Gun Street is a townhouse built around 1700, which has been in commercial use on the ground floor since at least the 1840s.

The main front of the building features brick laid in Flemish bond, with silver grey headers and red stretchers. The shopfronts, windows, door, and doorcase are made of timber, while the roof is covered in plain tiles. The rear of the building is partly cement-rendered and partly made of exposed red brickwork.

The townhouse stands three storeys high, plus a basement, and is four bays wide with a pitched, gable-ended roof running parallel to Gun Street. At the back, there is a projecting stair tower, which is offset to the west, and a truncated stack along the west party wall.

The entrance is located off-centre to the east, featuring a doorcase with fielded pilasters and moulded corbel brackets that support an open pediment hood. The half-glazed door is a later addition. To the west, there is a modified 19th-century projecting shop window, square in shape, with glazing bars and a brick base. This window is flanked by short stretches of low cast-iron railings topped with spearhead finials.

To the east, there is a smaller 19th-century shop window that is flush with the elevation. It includes mullions and a transom, with a narrow fascia and cornice above, and is enclosed by cast-iron railings with spearhead finials.

On the first and second floors, the windows are arranged in a two-two rhythm, featuring two-over-two sashes with exposed boxes and flat gauged brick arches. A stucco plat band runs above the first floor, and there is a timber or stucco eaves cornice.

At the rear, the windows are arranged irregularly. The stair tower rises to the attic level and has a flat roof.

Inside, it is reported that there is dado panelling with bolection mouldings and an open-well staircase dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. The staircase features turned balusters, a closed string, square newels, and a moulded handrail.
