Description

9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19 Pitt Street is a classical tenement building dating from around 1830. It is three stories tall with a basement and features a symmetrical nine-bay design, housing two main door flats. The exterior is made of cleaned cream sandstone, with rustication at the ground floor and a droved finish on the basement and upper floors, complemented by polished dressings. Architectural details include a base course, a band course above the rustication, a cill course at the first floor, and a cornice with a blocking course. The fenestration is regular, featuring rectangular sunburst fanlights, with steps that oversail the basement recess leading to panelled doors. The doors are deep-set.

On the south elevation facing Pitt Street, the central tenement door is flanked by main doors at the third and seventh bays, with blind windows above on each floor. The east elevation facing Trafalgar Lane has a two-bay rubble gable that is three stories high, with all windows except the bottom right being blind. There are a pair of apex stacks, which have been raised later, with ashlar skews.

The rear elevation is a six-bay structure made of rubble. The windows are primarily 12-pane timber sash and case, with some replaced by plate glass and tilt-and-swing designs. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped rendered stacks on ashlar bases and ashlar coped skews.

The property features cast-iron spearhead railings on a saddleback ashlar base leading to the steps and basement area. There is also a cast-iron cradle-headed oil lamp standard, although the glass shade is missing, located to the left.
