113-119, RAWLINSON STREET

Nos. 113-119 on Rawlinson Street is a terrace of houses that includes an old police station, built in 1880. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features green slate roofs. It consists of two reflected pairs of houses, each two storeys high, with two windows on each floor. There is a chamfered ashlar plinth band, and an ashlar band that projects on brackets to form the sills of paired sash windows, which are set in moulded brick surrounds and topped with a continuous hoodmould. The hoodmould arches over the paired doorways of Nos. 119 with 117 and 115 with 113. No. 115 retains an old four-panelled door with a plain overlight. Above the windows are recessed herringbone panels, with the panel above No. 115 featuring encaustic tiling that reads 'POLICE STATION AD/ 1880'. The first-floor windows mirror those on the ground floor but lack sill blocks or hoods. Below the cast-iron ogee gutter are Vitruvian scrolls and modillions. The brick stacks at the centre and each end have offsets and dentilled caps, though the right end stack has been renewed. The ridge tiles are crested. It is noted that No. 119 now has a uPVC door and windows.
