Description

These are early 19th-century premises comprising numbers 4 and 5 Prince's Street and adjoining a Masonic Hall. The building is stuccoed, with three tall storeys and two windows. The ground floor of number 4 has had the stucco removed, revealing underlying granite masonry. The first and second floors feature three Ionic pilasters, though the volutes on two of these are missing. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set in slight recesses. Projecting doorways have entablatures topped with cornices. The roof is slate-covered, with a wide eaves soffit.
