6 Harbour Street

6 Harbour Street is a former jeweller’s shop with office accommodation above, likely built in the early 19th century with a shopfront remodelled in the 1950s. The building is rectangular and located within a terrace of shops and apartments on the east side of Harbour Street.

The front elevation, facing Harbour Street, is two bays wide and has three storeys above a ground-floor shop. The upper floors are constructed of yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern. Each floor features a pair of recessed sash windows, each with six-over-six panes, projecting stone sills, and rendered reveals and lintels. An ornate metal bracket for a hanging sign is positioned between the first-floor windows.

The ground-floor shopfront is asymmetrical and recessed, featuring ornate timber display cases with curved glazing. A moulded fascia is flanked by pilasters and console fascia stops, which likely date from the 19th century. Within this framework sits a timber and glazed shopfront that was remodelled in the 1950s. The recessed lobby contains a central, angled island display case with curved plate glass and thin, moulded glazing bars, alongside wall cases with matching glazing and joinery. Matching doors lead back from the street into the shop, and the lobby floor is finished with abstract black and white mosaic tiling.

The main shop room on the ground floor retains original fittings, including two dark-stained timber counters with curved ends, fielded panels, moulded console brackets to the customer-facing sides, and glazed tops. Each counter is complemented by a curved timber shelf to the rear, flanked by brass columns. Glazed display cases with matching joinery and varying sizes, along with deep moulded cornices, line the walls. The ground-floor workshop to the rear has a moulded cornice and picture rail.

The first-floor office retains moulded cornicing, picture rail, and skirting, a timber fire surround and a built-in cupboard with a fielded panel door. Rooms on the second and third floors also feature tiled fireplaces, moulded skirting, and picture rails.
