60 and 62 Westgate Street

Commercial with residential above. Early C19 with number 60 largely rebuilt in 1947, early-C21 alterations.

MATERIALS: red brick, slate roof, brick chimney stacks, timber sash windows.

PLAN: a double-depth block with canted angle at the street corner.

EXTERIOR: the building is three storeys high, with a cellar and attic. It has a slate two-span roof with dormer windows, partly installed during the post-war renovations when the corner to College Street was largely rebuilt, and two early-C19 brick stacks. An early-C21 glazed shopfront with timber panels and recessed entrance wraps around the ground floor elevations to Westgate Street and College Street. Above, there are pilaster strips at the corners of the canted angle, between the second and third bays to the left on the Westgate Street elevation, and terminating the College Street elevation, all rising to full height, including to the parapet which comprises a stone band and continues around the full elevation. On each of the upper floors, there are three sash windows to Westgate Street, one sash on the canted angle, and one to College Street; all comprise six-over-six panes with glazing bars.

INTERIOR: understood to be altered on the ground floor, but may contain features including an early-C19 staircase elsewhere.
