Description

No. 36 Boutport Street is a shop built in 1905. It features cream-coloured brick with stone dressings, while the ground storey is painted. The rear of the building is rendered, and it has slated roofs; the street-facing range is hipped with a flat top that includes a tall, ornate guard-rail. There are cream-coloured brick chimneys on each side wall and several red brick chimneys at the rear. The building is deep and narrow, with lower ranges at the back that are not necessarily later.

It stands four storeys tall with a garret and has a three-bay front designed in a version of the Flemish Renaissance style. Brick pilasters flank and separate the bays, and there is an entablature with a stone architrave and cornice above each storey. The ground storey features a late 20th-century shop front. The upper storeys contain round-arched windows, one in each bay, with moulded stone imposts, archivolts, and plain keystones. The wider middle bay has a canted oriel window on the second and third storeys, which retains a remnant of a pediment above. The fourth storey features a wide window that occupies the entire bay, containing a mullioned-and-transomed wooden window with the lower middle light topped by a broken triangular pediment on brackets. Above eaves-level, the centre bay continues as a large, two-light dormer gable, which is flanked by scroll buttresses and topped with a triangular pediment that includes a carved tympanum and finial.
