Fisher and Fisher Solicitors, 9 John Mitchel Place, Newry, Co Down, BT34 2BP

Fisher and Fisher Solicitors is one of a pair of three-storey Georgian granite houses with basement and attic, located on the corner of John Mitchel Place and St Colman's Park in Newry. The building is Grade B+.

The façade fronts the east side of John Mitchel Place and forms the left half of a four-window-wide elevation shared with 21 St Colman's Park. The roof is gabled with natural slates, fitted with two skylights to the front pitch and one to the rear. A natural slate gabled roof extends to the rear right, terminating in a rendered chimney stack shared with the adjoining house. A low rendered chimney sits on the apex at right, with a taller rendered chimney at left.

The walls are of squared granite rubble in regular courses with cement-rendered brick dressings to all windows and door openings (except at basement level, where the render has disappeared). Raised and stepped V-jointed quoins mark both corners of the John Mitchel Place façade. The basement walls project slightly and are separated from the ground floor by a chamfered string course.

Five granite steps lead to the front door, positioned at right on this section. A boot scraper sits on the top step. The door opening has a semi-elliptical rendered head and half-round beaded edge to its granite casing. The painted timber door contains six raised and fielded panels with a vertical bead down the middle to mimic double doors. Two letterboxes are affixed. The door is flanked by two partly-attached Tuscan columns supporting an entablature with a semi-elliptical transom over, now covered with plywood externally but showing cast-iron tracery on the inside. To the left is a window opening.

The upper floors each have a pair of windows in line with the ground floor openings, with those on the second floor slightly diminished in height. All have granite cills and three-piece keystoned granite lintels. All windows are sliding sash: 1/1 on the ground floor and 6/6 above.

A wrought-iron railing runs along the ground level, returning up each side of the entrance steps. It is affixed to a finely dressed chamfered granite plinth with urn-topped cast-iron posts. A passage runs around the outside of the building at basement level. A door on the left cheek of a vaulted chamber underneath the entrance steps is now blocked, as is a window on the right cheek. A basement window to the left of the entrance is infilled and boarded over.

The left gable has a lower building abutting it; the exposed gable section is cement-rendered. The right gable is abutted by adjoining premises. The rear wall is cement-rendered. At left is a shallow natural slate hipped-roof return, two storeys high and shared with adjoining premises, with plastic gutters. Its walls are unrendered and of similar construction to the front, with a large semicircular-headed window to each half landing and two small modern windows on its right cheek. At the bottom, also on its right cheek, is a segmental brick arch leading to a short passage along the basement exterior. Above the return is a smaller similar window lighting the half landing between second and attic floors.

The back wall to the right of the return has a single sliding sash window to each floor (8/2 on ground floor, 6/6 above) and an infilled basement window.

At the back is a yard, at the rear of which stands a three-storey shared outhouse with natural slate roof, gabled at this end but hipped to the street, with metal rainwater goods. The walls are of rubble granite brought to courses. On the yard-facing elevation is a coach arch with semi-elliptical brick head at ground floor, now infilled. To its right are a pedestrian door and a cast-iron lattice window. Each upper floor has two window openings, all with concrete cills and cement-rendered reveals. First-floor windows have three-piece keystoned granite heads; second-floor windows have heads and stepped jambs of red brick. The actual windows are vertically divided two-paned modern replacements.

The left gable of the main building is abutted by another building. The back wall faces into the yard of 19 St Colman's Park and has a semi-elliptical headed and brick-trimmed opening at ground floor with timber door. Above are two openings, both infilled. One-storey flat-roofed 'Portacabin' type structures now infill the yard between the rear of the house and outbuilding. Another three-storey outbuilding belonging to the neighbouring property abuts the left elevation of this outbuilding.

Ogee cast-iron rain water goods are fitted throughout.
