Range At Rear Of No 50

The range at the rear of No 50 Bartholomew Street is a building dating from around 1842, originally serving as a two-storey beerhouse at the east end and a three-storey brewhouse for the Phoenix brewery. The malthouse was located on the south side of the brewhouse until 1893, when the beerhouse was converted into offices. The building features two windows, a slated roof with a hipped lantern, and is constructed of brick with a dentil cornice and a first-floor string. The first-floor sash window is slightly recessed with exposed boxing and a small panel, while the ground floor has arched windows with cast iron glazing bars for fixed lights. A wide arched service doorway is also present.

In 1923, the brewhouse was converted into a store. The top floor originally housed the hoist, grain grinding mill, copper, water tanks, and storage for malt and grain. The first floor included the engine room, wash turn room, cooler room, and fermenting tun room, while the ground floor contained the boiler, injector pump, well, and cask storage. The building consists of four bays, with a slated roof and brick construction featuring a dentil cornice that extends around the gable and floor strings. The arched windows in full-height recesses also have cast iron glazing bars for fixed lights, and there is a louvred bulls-eye in the gable along with a weatherboarded hoist cover and arched doorways with braided doors. This structure is noted as a complete example of a brewery complex.
