129, Cumberland Road

129 Cumberland Road is a mid-19th century office building, originally constructed for Charles Hill and Sons, shipbuilders. It features a double-depth plan and is designed in the Italianate style, built from pennant rubble with limestone dressings. The building is two storeys high and has a six-window range.

The symmetrical front includes doorways at the center and in the splayed corners, which are adorned with carved acanthus capitals. Above these doorways is a wooden cornice that extends over the corners on cast-iron stanchions. The first floor has clasping pilasters that support a frieze, cornice, and parapet. The central doorway is fitted with a plate-glass overlight and a four-panel door, while the corner doorways are blocked. Between these doorways are eight continuous eight-pane windows with top-hung casements. The first floor features three paired semicircular-arched windows with sill blocks, containing four-over-four pane sashes.

The interior has been largely remodeled in the mid-20th century. Originally, this building served as offices for Charles Hill and Sons, who were established in 1848 at the Albion Dockyard, with their last ship being launched in 1976.
