2-9, Chapel Street

A terrace of eight houses, now used as six houses, a shop, and an office, built around the early 19th century. The houses are constructed of Flemish bond brickwork, with lighter-colored brick used for the front of the building, and English garden wall brickwork to the rear and sides. The front of the terrace has a chamfered plinth and V-jointed quoins on the end house. The roof is covered in graduated greenslate, with brick chimney stacks at the ridge and ends.

The houses are two storeys high, with two and three bays each. The central and slightly off-centre doorways are panelled, above which are patterned radial fanlights within pilastered surrounds. Two passage doorways are similarly detailed, one with the fanlight boarded over. A carriage arch between numbers 4 and 5 has plank doors within a segmental-headed brick reveal. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within brick reveals and have painted stone sills; the end house, number 9, has windows within painted stone architraves. Some of the original cellar openings have been blocked in. The return side of number 9, facing Albert Street, has three bays.

The interior retains a number of original features, including panelled ground-floor shutters, internal panelled doors, moulded ceiling cornices, original wooden staircases, and some marble fireplaces. Chapel Street was created in 1824 to provide access to a new Catholic chapel.
