121 Bridge Street, Portadown, Craigavon, Co Armagh, BT63 5AA

This building is one of seven houses forming a terrace on the north side of Bridge Street, Portadown. It was constructed between 1860 and 1879, though it does not appear on the 1862 Ordnance Survey map. The Ulster Architectural Heritage Society originally suggested a construction date around 1840.

The property has a broad, three-storey, two-bay front elevation facing Bridge Street, and a further elevation fronting onto Watsons Street. It is one of seven houses in the terrace. The roof is pitched natural slate, hipped at the eastern end, with decorative timber eaves supported by paired corbels. Two chimneys are located on the rear return. The walls are painted brick, with stepped brick quoins marking the corner with Watsons Street. The front elevation has two windows on each of the upper floors, all with slightly advanced brick architraves, masonry cills, and 2/2 sliding sash windows with horns. A modern shop front, of no interest, occupies the ground floor, set between original stucco cornices and fascia end corbels. The right (eastern) elevation, facing Watsons Street, features five window openings on its upper floors. The Bridge Street shop front wraps around the corner, filling its left end. The ground floor includes a segmental-headed carriageway, a doorway on the left, and two infilled window openings. The left (western) gable abuts the adjacent property. The rear (north) elevation has a full-height return with a half-hipped roof; the left cheek forms part of the main block's eastern elevation, and the right cheek has a carriageway at ground floor left. A modern metal flue pipe runs down the centre of the rear elevation, alongside a modern metal escape stair serving the left-hand doors. The rear return’s end wall is rendered and blank. Modern timber escape doors are present at first and second floor on the left side of the rear elevation, while single window openings are located on the right side – the first floor window being a 1/1 sash, and the second floor window a 2/2 sash. The building was originally constructed with slated roofs and brick walls with contrasting brick dressings to the sash windows. Historic surveys indicate that the windows are now modern.
