6 Queen Street, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, BT52 1BE

6 Queen Street is a two-storey, three-bay, mid-terraced commercial building built around 1898, located on the west side of Queen Street in Coleraine town centre. It is graded B2.

The building has a rectangular plan with a two-storey return to the rear. The pitched roof is covered in artificial slate with angled ridge tiles; chimneys have been removed. Ogee cast iron rainwater goods run along projecting eaves courses. The walls are painted smooth render.

The principal elevation faces east. The ground floor features a traditional-style shopfront with a central recessed entrance flanked by plate glass windows set in timber frames on painted render stall risers. The recessed entrance is fully glazed with modern double-leaf glass-panelled timber doors and narrow sidelights, topped by two moulded timber panels. The porch is splayed and laid with modern floor tiles, with a timber-sheeted ceiling supported on two cast-iron columns on pedestals and enclosed by iron gates with arrow-head finials. To the left is a doorway (now boarded over) flanked by painted moulded pilasters and topped by a small moulded pediment, with a former coach arch to its right (timber frame insert with boarded-over paired doors and plain overlight). Above the former coach arch is a small metal plaque reading: "QUEEN STREET - FORMERLY PREACHING HOUSE LANE AFTER JOHN WESLEY FOUNDER OF METHODISM PREACHED HERE IN 18TH C". The first floor has two 1/1 timber sash windows with horns in moulded architraves and projecting painted sills above the shopfront, and a single window above the left-side doorway. A timber fascia with moulded cornice runs across the elevation. The ground floor doorway under the pediment and the former coach arch do not form part of this record.

The two-storey rear return has unpainted rendered walling and an artificial slate roof with two modern rooflights to the north slope. The rear gable elevation of the return is blank and further abutted by a single-storey building with an asbestos tiled roof. The south elevation of the return has two blocked openings and cast iron guttering. The north elevation of the return has a single blocked and rendered opening. A small section of the main rear wall is exposed to the right of the return but was not visible during survey. Extensions of surrounding buildings abut the rear return at ground floor level on north, west and south sides, with only the first floor level exposed.

The south elevation is abutted by No. 4 Queen Street, and the north elevation is abutted by No. 8 Queen Street.

The building is situated in the central pedestrianised zone of the town centre, north of The Diamond and the Town Hall. It forms part of an early-nineteenth-century terrace which has been modified and altered over the years.
