Description
No 17 Chambers Building was constructed between 1850 and 1860. It features a stucco facade and a slate roof, standing two storeys high with a plain, five-bay facade. The first floor has a central angular bay topped with a cornice. The ground floor includes a simple shop front with a glazed central door and three-pane windows on either side, all beneath a frieze and cornice supported by console brackets. The building likely represents a rebuilding, as there are no signs of earlier work in the interior. It holds significance as part of the continuous group of buildings along this side of Hart Street.
This group includes Nos 5 to 39 (odd), the Drinking Fountain, the Parish Church of St Mary, and the raised pavement at the east end of Hart Street, which are associated with Nos 2 to 8 (even) and Nos 14 to 36 (even), including Adam House, as well as Nos 40, 44 (including gates and piers), 48, No 50, The Old School House, and the Rectory Garden Wall opposite.
