Description
73 Lemon Street is a town house that has been converted into a shop and offices. It was built around 1799 by Mr. Milford, a builder, and has undergone alterations in the 20th century. The front is made of granite ashlar, topped with an asbestos slate roof that sits behind a parapet, and there are brick stacks at each end. The building has a double-depth plan that was modified in the late 19th century to create a carriageway on the left side and to insert a shop in the 20th century.
It stands three stories tall and features a four-window range. The wide doorway on the left has an elliptical arch and is decorated with rock-faced rustication, leading to a tall window that serves the combined floors above. There is a cornice beneath the parapet, and on the right side, there is a large 20th-century shop front. The first floor has three tall windows and the second floor has square windows, which retain original 6-pane hornless sashes, while the other windows have later horned sashes, all set under shallow segmental arches with projecting keyblocks. The left-hand window above the shop front is narrower.
Inside, the first-floor rooms feature original moulded and carved ceiling cornices, although the rest of the interior was not inspected. The building is included for its group value.
