Description

129 Rose Street is a tenement building from the later 18th century, with some alterations made at the ground level. It is a symmetrical, three-storey structure with five bays, located on a corner site. The ground floor features three cement shopfronts that flank paired doors leading to the upper floors. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. The end bays have tripartite windows with blind outer lights, and there is a three-bay return gable, although the stack has been removed. The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass. The building has ashlar coped skews and is topped with grey slates. The interior was not seen in 1995.
