Description
The Warehouse Brasserie at Newfoundland House is a pair of warehouses dating from the 18th and early 19th centuries, later restored in the late 20th century. They were originally warehouses to the east of the Custom House. The building is constructed of red brick, with red stucco to the Quay elevation. It has an east brick gable stack, a west half-hipped slate roof, and an east hipped tiled roof. The plan is L-shaped rectangular.
The west end is five storeys high and has a three-window range. It features a half-hipped gable with a central hoist bay, containing segmental-arched heads to tall openings with late 20th-century glazing, matching the doorway. Smaller casement windows are on either side. The east end is four storeys high and has a four-window range. It possesses a right-hand end gable and cogged brick eaves, paired hoist bays with segmental-arched heads to 20th-century glazing, and similar flanking windows with casements. There are paired central hipped dormers and a wide doorway with a segmental arch and recessed doors.
The rear elevation has an east section that is four storeys high and has a four-window range with paired central hoist bays, now infilled with mid-20th-century windows, segmental arches, and a wide right-hand segmental-arched carriage arch. The west section is four storeys high with an attic and a three-window range, similar to the front, with an altered right-hand segmental-arched carriage arch.
The interior has been altered, including an inserted concrete stair within Newfoundland House. The Warehouse section retains some timber joists. It is likely the warehouses were built after the 1813 fire which destroyed the Custom House. The building holds group value with the other listed quayside buildings and illustrates the former industrial life of the quay.
