Description

28, 29, and 30 Argyle Place is a Baronial corner tenement block built around 1875, featuring four storeys with an attic and shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed of squared and snecked sandstone, accented with polished ashlar dressings. It has a cornice above the shops, a corbel table that forms hoods over the second-floor windows, crowstepped gables, eaves cornices, long and short quoins, and chamfered reveals.

On the north elevation facing Roseneath Terrace, the building has a four-bay design with a bowed recessed corner bay. There is a later advanced shopfront on the outer left, supported by cast-iron columns and capitals, featuring bowed plate glass windows. Above the shopfront, the corner bay has bipartite windows and a conical roof that is corbelled and finialled, with a round-arched gabled dormer. The remaining two bays above the shop have single windows, and there is a round-arched window in the gablehead. To the inner left, there is a roll-moulded doorway with a panelled door and a plate glass fanlight. The outer right bay has bipartite windows that break the eaves at the third floor, topped with a stone finialled pedimented dormerhead that includes an inset patera. The inner right bay also has single windows that break the eaves at the third floor with a similar stone finialled pedimented dormerhead.

The east elevation facing Argyle Place features two bays above the shopfronts, which have been altered but still include cast-iron columns and capitals. The outer left bay has bipartite windows that break the eaves at the third floor, leading to a crowstepped gabled dormerhead. The remaining bay has single windows and a round-arched window in the gablehead.

The building has 4-pane and plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashing, a corniced gablehead, mutual stacks, moulded cans, and crowstepped end gables adjoining properties to the south and west. The interiors have not been seen since 1990. There is a low saddleback wall to Roseneath Terrace.
