59, Southgate Street

This mid-18th century building on Southgate Street, Gloucester, is a cafe and former dwelling that has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The rear of the building suffered fire damage in 1994. The front facade is stuccoed and painted white, with black stone dressings and a slate roof. It is a double-depth block. The front features a 20th-century shop front, raised and chamfered stone quoins at each end, and a moulded stone cornice with a parapet above. The upper floors contain sash windows with 3x2 panes in the upper frames, with projecting stone sills. A 19th-century drum clock is centered between the first and second floors, housed in a metal case supported by cast-iron brackets. The interior was not inspected. The building is listed primarily for its contribution to the group of prominent 18th-century properties at the south end of Southgate Street.
