Description
Company House is a former brewery that has been converted into offices, built around 1865 by architect W.B. Gingell. The building features a rectangular plan and stands four storeys high with a five-window range. It is constructed from Pennant and limestone ashlar, as well as coursed Pennant rubble. The ground floor has a rock-faced Pennant plinth and semicircular-arched openings, including three large windows flanked by smaller doorways, and a vehicle entrance to the left with a steel lintel beneath a full-height semicircular-arched window. The first floor has a string course, ashlar bands on the upper floors, and bracketed eaves, with semicircular windows that have rock-faced voussoirs. The second floor has three rectangular windows added around 1975, located below third-floor lunettes, all featuring limestone voussoirs and 20th-century glazing. The interior was completely remodeled around 1975, and the building formerly displayed the raised inscription "W ROGERS/ JACOB STREET BREWERY" across the second-floor windows.
