Description

107-108 South Bridge is a Classical tenement building dating from around 1790. It stands three storeys high with an attic and features a five-bay by seven-bay layout. The building is located on a sloping site, with its main façade facing Hunter Square to the north and additional elevations to South Bridge on the east and Blair Street on the west. The exterior is constructed of ashlar stone and includes a band course and cornice, with raised cills and pediments on each façade that contain central lunettes. There is a later two-storey integral extension made of timber on the first storey facing Blair Street.

The principal elevation to the north has a recessed central entrance door made of timber and glass, which is adorned with decorative metal panels. This door is set within a concave, round-arched doorway that features a carved tympanum and a pilastered, broken pediment doorpiece. Doric pilasters rise from the first storey, separating the bays, and there is a frieze with triglyphs and paterae. To the right, a public house extends to the west with a timber fascia and panelled stall risers, along with decorative timber pilasters, some of which are paired, and fluted Ionic consoles. The building is topped with a dentilled cornice.

The upper storeys predominantly feature 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while the ground floor has a shop front with plate glass. The roof is covered with grey slate and has coped gable stacks.

The interior was comprehensively modernised, with some parts seen in 2007.
