42 And 44, Scotch Street

42 and 44 Scotch Street is a pair of shops with offices above, built in 1889 by George Dale Oliver. The building is constructed of red sandstone ashlar and features tiered pilasters, string courses, a solid parapet, and full pedimented dormers. It has a Welsh slate roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles and a lead cupola on the angle tower. The structure is three and a half storeys high, with three bays facing Scotch Street and a three-bay return on Old Blue Bell Lane, designed in the Jacobean style.

The ground floor has 20th-century doors and shop windows set within the original dividing pilasters. The corner shop retains its overall signboard and original illuminating scrolled metal gas-lamp brackets. The first floor features cross-mullioned windows with two and three lights, and a single window on the angle, all topped with blind round arches. Similar windows above lack transoms. Each facade has shaped, pedimented central dormers, and there is a round angle tower. Below the parapet of the tower is the painted lettering "TOWER BUILDINGS." The shop window of the adjoining No. 46 projects one bay into No. 44 on the ground floor. The original design of the building was published in The Builder on August 3, 1889. The interiors have not been inspected.
