Cornerstone House

Cornerstone House, located at No. 70 Chapel Street in Dalton In Furness, is a house built around 1870. It features scored cement render with red sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The building has three storeys, with two bays facing Chapel Street and a three-bay left return to Fell Croft, which includes a two-storey, two-bay wing on the left. The corners are accentuated with rock-faced quoins.

The front on Chapel Street has four-pane sash windows throughout. The entrance consists of a four-panel door with a fanlight, set in a stone surround that has an archivolt and a small rusticated keystone. The flanking windows have projecting sills and raised surrounds. On the first floor, there is a sill band with shaped, cemented surrounds. The second floor features an illegible date shield between round-headed windows, which also have raised surrounds and archivolts within gabled half-dormers. A string course runs beneath the bracketed eaves leading to the hipped roof, which has a yellow brick stack on the right.

The left return to Fell Croft mirrors the front, but the doorway is wider, and to its left is a tripartite sash window with a configuration of four, two, and four panes, supported by wooden pilaster mullions. An outbuilding on the right has sash windows, with the first-floor windows being taller. The interior has not been inspected.
