JKB Financial Partnership, 16 Railway Street, Lisburn, County Antrim, BT28 1XG

A mid-terrace three-storey redbrick townhouse, built around 1850. The building is rectangular on plan and forms part of a historic terrace of four similar houses lining the east side of Railway Street in Lisburn town centre.

The structure retains some original late Georgian and early Victorian character, though it has undergone significant alterations, particularly to the ground floor and shopfront. The pitched natural slate roof features black clay ridge tiles and redbrick chimneystack to either end with clay pots. Cast-iron guttering sits on iron brackets below a dentiled brick eaves course. The redbrick walling is laid in Flemish bond with cement pointing, while the rear elevation shows rubblestone walling.

The front elevation is three windows wide. The ground floor has a modern replacement redbrick shopfront inserted. Square-headed window openings with masonry sills are found across the building, with original 6/6 timber sash windows featuring cylinder glass to the upper storeys. A further square-headed door opening to the right bay contains a timber panelled door. The rear elevation retains original 6/6 timber sash windows, though these have been supplemented with uPVC windows to a two-storey rendered gable-ended return and flat-roofed single-storey extension at the rear. The north side elevation is abutted by the adjoining building at No. 18, while the south side is abutted by No. 14.

The building does not meet the criteria for listing due to extensive alterations to the ground floor and shopfront, despite retaining architectural interest as part of the historic terrace.

Historically, the house first appears on the second edition Ordnance Survey map of 1857. It does not feature on a detailed map of the town centre by Thomas Pattison circa 1830, suggesting construction sometime between 1830 and 1850, most likely around 1850 when the extended terrace first appeared on Ordnance Survey maps. In 1901, the building was occupied by Robert Pedlow, a 33-year-old linen merchant and member of the Society of Friends, along with his wife Martha and daughter. By 1910 it had become Lisburn's Dispensary and the private dwelling of the local Medical Officer, Dr. James G. Jefferson, the chief Medical Officer in the town. Dr. Jefferson died on 16 April 1910, leaving effects valued at £2,760 4s. 4d. to his widow Eliza, his relative Redmond Jefferson (a hardware and timber merchant), and John McHarg (a farmer). Following her husband's death, Eliza Jefferson continued to occupy the house with her two daughters, the eldest of whom was trained as a teacher. The 1911 census describes No. 16 as a first-class private dwelling consisting of 13 rooms with a slated roof. Architectural historian Charles E. B. Brett described the terrace at this location (Nos. 4 to 24 Railway Street) as comprising "good three-storey Georgian brick or stucco houses with glazing bars intact ... the backs of [which] are of stone."

The building is no longer used as a private dwelling and has been converted to office space, currently housing a local financial company. It sits within the Lisburn conservation area.
