Description
No. 70 Park Street is an attached house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from 1762 and was completed around 1800, designed by Thomas Paty. The building was refronted in 1879 by Henry Masters. It features a limestone ashlar facade with party wall stacks, and the roof is not visible. The structure has a double-depth plan and stands four storeys tall with a three-window range.
The shop front is from the 20th century, with a banded upper floor leading to a cornice and parapet. The upper windows are tripartite, featuring plate-glass sashes and pilaster mullions with egg-and-dart capitals. The first floor has a panelled entablature and a dentil cornice, while the upper two storeys have pilaster mullions with windows separated by panels adorned with festoons. The second-floor lintels are embellished with festooned blocks, a dentil cornice, and a broken segmental pediment that includes a central pedestal and festoons.
Inside, the space has been remodelled as a shop, but it retains a stone open dogleg stair on the left, which has stick balusters and a wreathed banded rail. Park Street was developed over a period of about 40 years and suffered significant damage around 1940, leading to much of it being rebuilt in a similar style after the war.
