Description

This is a three-storey and attic commercial building, originally designed as coachworks, stables, and offices, built in 1880 by Robert Morham. It occupies an L-shaped site, formerly a U-shaped arrangement. The main east-facing elevation is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked cream sandstone, while the north elevation features a brick gable wall. The west elevation of the east range and the entire south range are built with polychromatic brick. The building is distinguished by a base course, dividing cornices, and an eaves course with moulded guttering. The second-floor windows have stone mullions and transoms, and the brick ranges feature segmental-arched windows.

The eastern (Upper Gray Street) elevation is characterized by a four-centred pend arch within an advanced, gabled bay on the outer right. This arch has a hoodmould with blank armorial panels and a tripartite window above. A French pavilion roof covers the advanced bay to the outer left, which features a doorway and a small single window on the ground floor, a single window on the first floor, and a decorative iron balcony supporting a bipartite window at the second floor. A further bipartite window breaks the eaves within a pedimented dormerhead above. The second bay presents a doorway and single window to the ground floor, a tripartite window to the first floor, a single window to the second floor, and a single window breaking the eaves with a pedimented dormerhead. The remaining bays have single windows to the ground and first floors, bipartite windows to the second floor, and a decorative iron balcony to the window on the right side of the centre.

The north elevation is a blank gable wall. The south elevation is a mix of rough rubble to the ground floor, stugged cream sandstone rising to a wallhead stack on the outer right, and polychromatic brick connecting to the south range. It has twelve-pane segmental-arched windows to the left of the centre on the first and second floors. The west elevation, not visible from the ground, is brick and features segmental-arched openings on the second floor. A balcony at the first floor of the north elevation features a two-leaf door within a segmental-arched doorway flanked by windows, smaller windows to either side, and star-pattern brickwork above and a cill course to the smaller, square, pivot windows of the second floor.

The principal elevation incorporates various four-pane and two-pane timber sash and case windows, while the brick range has six-pane and more modern windows. The roofs are covered in grey slate, with corniced gablehead stacks to the north, wallhead stacks to the south and east, as well as decorative cast-iron finials and original cast-iron rainwater goods.
