Description

Granary Quay is a warehouse that has been converted into apartments, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of Portland stone rubble and features a slate roof. The building stands four storeys tall, with its main facade facing North Quay. This facade includes 2-light 20th-century casement windows with wooden lintels, positioned on either side of paired central glazed doors, which also have wooden lintels and are complemented by balconies with iron railings. The ground floor showcases two wide arched openings with segmental heads, voussoirs, and glazed doors with sidelights. The gable is coped and includes a small oculus, along with a string course below the kneeler level.

The facade facing Lower St Edmund Street also consists of four floors, featuring 2-light casements flanking doors with small balconies, all supported by wooden lintels. On the ground floor, there is one four-light casement and a plank door to the left, with a smaller four-light window to the right. The roof on this side is hipped, leading to plain eaves.

Inside, the building has been completely subdivided for residential use. Originally a grain warehouse, it fell into neglect due to disuse. An undated early 20th-century photograph in the National Monuments Record shows it without the upper gable and top floor facing the Quay. In the late 20th century, the building was carefully restored, along with the adjoining No. 4, and repurposed as apartments, revitalizing a section of the harbour front that was at risk of decline. A plaque from the Weymouth Civic Society recognizes the significance of this conservation effort.
