6 AND 8, ST MICHAELS STREET (See details for further address information)

This is a commercial building located at 6 and 8 St Michael's Street, dating from around the 1870s. It is constructed of buff-coloured brick, featuring red and blue brick details, and has a slated hipped roof with paired corbelled brick brackets supporting a deep eaves soffit. There are brick stacks at each end.

The building sits on a rectangular corner site, with a shop on the ground floor that has an entrance on the splayed corner, and a separate entrance to the upper floors on the right side from St Michael's Street. It is designed in an Italianate derivative style.

The exterior consists of three storeys, with one bay facing High Street and five bays along St Michael's Street, connected by the splayed corner. The first and second floors are adorned with brick pilasters. The first floor features moulded round arch windows with continuous hoodmoulds and a polychrome brick stringcourse above. The second floor windows have cambered arches and a continuous brick stringcourse, with sash windows that include four panes on the second floor. The ground floor has a tall shop window flanked by pilasters and topped with a deep entablature featuring a dentil cornice. The corner entrance has later glazing, and the window on the right has been replaced by a brick wall. There is a doorway to the upper floors on the right, which has a moulded brick round arch with a large keyblock, a fanlight, colonnettes, and a panelled door, all topped with a heavy moulded brick cornice.

Inside, the first-floor room features a moulded plaster ceiling cornice. The second floor has a Victorian chimneypiece with a tiled iron grate. The staircase is notable for its ornate cast-iron balustrade and mahogany handrail.
