Description
No 49, originally known as Freer's Family Butcher, is a butcher's shop with a flat above, built in 1912 as indicated by the datestone. The building features red brick in Flemish bond on the front, with a glazed tile shop front, while the sides are constructed of variegated brick in garden wall bond and sandstone dressings. The slate roof is two stories high and has a four-window front.
There are six-panel doors with overlights and shaped lintels on either side of the shopfront. The shopfront itself is set on a plinth and has plain pilasters decorated with wheatear drops and guttae, supporting a full dentilled entablature with an open pediment at the center. The tympanum features a bull's head in high relief within a roundel adorned with swags. The central half-glazed shop door is beneath a keyed segment-arched overlight and is framed by enriched Ionic columns on pedestals. A mosaic floor panel in the doorway displays the original butcher's name.
The shop windows consist of plate glass on the left and a large-pane sash on the right, raised on risers of recessed rectangular panels with chamfered corners. On the first floor, paired narrow single-pane sashes with shaped lintels and sills flank the rectangular datestone in a plain surround. The eaves course is egg and dart moulded, and the roof features perforated ridge tiles and end stacks.
Inside, the wall to the left retains original decorative tiling and a dado rail, while the shop window to the left is tiled with a lozenge-shaped panel at the center that contains a bull's head.
