Description
105, 107, and 109 Broughton Street is an earlier 19th-century, four-storey, six-bay terraced plain classical tenement that features shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar with margins, which has been cleaned, and coursed rubble on the side elevation. It includes a base course, a fascia band, a cill band at the first floor, projecting cills at the second floor, a cill band at the third floor, and corniced eaves.
The west (principal) elevation has 19th-century shopfronts at the ground level that are pilastered and corniced, with a pestle-and-mortar trade sign at the shop on the right. There are recessed fanlit entrances in the penultimate bays on both the right and left, flanked by 19th-century plate glass shop windows. The upper floors feature regular fenestration, with bracketed cills on the penultimate bay at the second floor.
The south (side) elevation has a gable end wall with small windows located in the center at each floor.
The building has timber sash and case windows with predominantly four-pane glazing, a grey slate roof, and ridge and gablehead stacks with terracotta cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998, except for the chemist shop, which features decorative modillion and egg-and-dart plaster cornicing, along with a decorative, pilastered bowed timber gantry that includes apothecary drawers and shelves. It also has a dentil cornice, columnar uprights with gilded capitals and fluted panels, and a doorway flanked by fluted columns with gilded Corinthian capitals, topped with a panelled overdoor that has a corniced roundel for a modern clock.
