Description
37 and 39 Main Street are two shops that were likely built in the mid-19th century and originally had dwellings above. The building features scored render on the ground and first floors, with roughcast render on the second floor, and is constructed from random rubble. It has a slate roof and a double-depth plan with back extensions.
The exterior is three storeys high with five windows. It has channelled pilasters, a plain frieze, and a moulded string course on the first two floors. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century wooden shop front that includes fluted pilasters with diamond capitals, panelled aprons, and an entablature with a plain frieze interrupted by diamond panels over the pilasters, topped with a simple moulded cornice that includes canopy apparatus over the centre and right-hand windows.
For No.37, there are two doorways flanked by windows—one square window to the left and one oblong window to the right. No.39 has a doorway on the right and a two-light window on the left. All doors are part-glazed with overlights, and all windows feature plate-glass glazing. Above the doorway of No.37 is a slender wrought-iron scrolled bracket for a hanging sign. The upper floors have sash windows, with the first-floor windows being hornless. The building has gable chimneys with slab cornices.
The interior has not been inspected. The facade is long, regular, and relatively unaltered from the 19th century, providing an interesting contrast to the varied patterns of the street and complementing the adjacent building at No.41.
