53, Queen Charlotte Street

No. 53 Queen Charlotte Street is a warehouse, now used as an office, built around 1875. The building is constructed of brick with limestone dressings and has a double-depth plan. It stands four storeys high and features a two-window range. Notable architectural details include impost and sill bands, as well as a moulded pediment cornice. The ground floor has two wide semicircular arches with a moulded brick archivolt and an ashlar label, one of which contains a 20th-century doorway. The upper windows are set in three-storey semicircular-arched recesses with labels, and there is a keyed bull's eye in the pediment. The arches are filled with 20th-century plate-glass glazing and panels. The interior was completely remodelled in 1973, but the facade remains intact. This building is included for its group value.
