Description

Shalom is a house, likely originally a fish cellar in the basement, dating from around the mid-18th century. It is built of painted and rendered stone rubble with a cement-washed slate roof featuring gable ends. A stone rubble chimney stack is located on the front gabled end. The building has a two-room plan with a side entrance leading to the first floor above a ground floor store. It features a front projecting wing that is at right angles to Pendennis. Shalom is attached to Jews House, and together they form a U-shaped layout around a small courtyard, with later shop premises on the fourth side. The house is two storeys tall with a basement and has a gable end front that is slightly set back from Lansallos Street. The asymmetrical front has a single window range with 19th-century four-pane sash windows. The entrance is located in the left-hand side wall and is accessed by stone rubble steps. Inside, the basement kitchen has four stop-chamfered ceiling beams marked with crosses, which were likely used to record payments.
