Warehouse. Mid C19. Rubble and coursed rubble, asebstos-cement slate roof. PLAN: a long plain warehouse set with a wide gable to the street, with complete floored upper level; at the rear it is connected at the upper level to No.1 Malthouse (qv) in Hope Street South. EXTERIOR: the street front has rubble to approx 2.2m height, then squared stone; possibly raised on a former boundary wall. A deep loading door in brick jambs and with haunched brick segmental head and wood sill at floor level is set above a pair of doors in a widened opening with a similar segmental brick head showing the original width. The rear wall is in good squared rubble, with an enclosed bridge at the upper level connecting to the malthouse; below is a glazed door under a segmental brick head. INTERIOR: retains 2 rows of wood posts with slight chamfered corners in 4x3 bays, carrying deep C19 joists and a plank floor stopped short of the walls, and revealing the ends of wide trusses above. This is an important survival in this area which formerly had a number of similar storage buildings. Included for historical and group value.
