7, Quay Street

7 Quay Street is a large corner shop with offices above and attached warehouses, designed by Alfred J. Cornelius in 1908. The building features polychrome brick and terracotta, with a dry Delabole slate roof that has two gables at the front, lateral and axial brick stacks, and cast-iron ogee gutters. It has a deep rectangular plan, with a large shop at the front and storerooms behind. The architectural style is High Victorian with Baroque influence, and the building stands three storeys high with three bays.

The corner shop has a splayed corner with a two-storey bay window above, which is surmounted by a gable. There is a wide bay on the right, also surmounted by a gable, and another bay on the left-hand return. Notable features include enormous keyed lunette windows with enriched architraves that light the first floors of the two outer bays. The shop front retains its original mullions and moulded entablature, with a sloping fascia and terminal consoles over pilasters. The principal windows above the corner have tall moulded keyblocks and modillioned cornices, all featuring moulded architraves. The group of four windows over the right-hand bay has Gibbs surrounds, and there is a festooned frieze above. The interior has not been inspected.
