Description
34 Milsom Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from around 1762, with alterations made in 1910. The elevation for the buildings on Milsom Street was approved by the Council in 1761, possibly designed by Thomas Jelly, with the shopfront created by shopfitter J. Foster in 1910, which has since undergone further changes to the windows.
The building features limestone ashlar on the front and a combination of ashlar and rubble at the rear. It has a double pile parapeted mansard roof with double Roman tiles on the front and triple Roman tiles on the rear. The right side has a coped party wall with two ashlar stacks topped with early clay pots.
The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, a basement, and a three-window front. The first floor has three six-over-six sash windows set in splayed ovolo moulded architraves, which rise from lowered stone sills and are adorned with friezes and a cornice, featuring a pediment in the centre. The second floor also has three six-over-six sash windows with eared ovolo moulded architraves above stone sills. The ground floor showcases a projecting shopfront from 1910 by J. Foster, featuring plate glass windows with curved panes at the left and right angles, a glazed door with an overlight in the centre, and a deep frieze with a dentil cornice. There are no openings to the basement. The building has two single dormers with six-over-six horned sashes, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. A moulded lead hopper head and downpipe is attached to the right, shared with No. 35 Milsom Street. The partially visible rear elevation includes an ashlar extension from the staircase leading to the second half-landing, a six-over-six sash window with a wrought iron balconette on the second floor, and two single dormers with six-over-six horned sashes.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, there was an earlier shopfront designed by architect William Wilcox around 1862, and a pull handle shaped like an animal has been reused from the 1910 shopfront.
