36, MILFORD STREET (See details for further address information)

No. 36 Milford Street, formerly listed as No. 38, is a building with origins in the 17th century and a rebuilding in the 18th century. It stands three storeys tall, with red brick upper floors and a ground floor that has been stuccoed and altered in the 19th century. The building features a projecting plinth, with the ground floor displaying banded rusticated piers and shop windows framed by eaved architraves on both fronts. There is a shop door topped with a segmental pediment. Above the ground floor, there is a moulded cornice and frieze, with painted stone quoins and a moulded string course over the first floor. The upper floors facing Milford Street have two sash windows without glazing bars, adorned with painted keystones and flat brick arches. To the right, there is a recessed bay with one window, while the ground floor sash retains its original thick glazing bars. A similar window is found on the upper floors of the return front to Gigant Street. The lower extension on Gigant Street, from the same period, features three upper floor windows and two on the ground floor, along with an eight-panel central door that has a radiating and wreathed fanlight set in panelled reveals with a plain surround and a central moulded keystone. The doorcase is supported by semi-engaged Doric columns and features a broken entablature with a bracketed cornice and an open pediment. The ground floor windows have moulded frames and stepped voussoir heads. This building is noted as a good corner structure. Inside, the shop has a 17th-century plaster ceiling, along with remains of carved panelling and pilasters. There is also a round-headed door with shallow relief niches, likely reset from the 17th century. Nos. 20 to 36 (even) and the Elim Pentecostal Church form a group.
