Description
6, 8, 10, and 10A Annandale Street is a classical tenement building designed by Robert Brown in 1825. It is a four-storey structure with a basement and features a nine-bay terraced layout. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with rusticated stonework at the ground level and droved ashlar on the basement. Notable architectural details include a base course, cill band courses at the first, second, and third floors, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The fourth storey is designed as a wallhead attic, and there are moulded architraves on the first and second floors. The entrance features ashlar steps and platts that extend over the basement.
The principal elevation showcases a timber panelled door with a multi-pane fanlight, set within a columned entrance that has fluted and corniced detailing at the centre. Panelled pilasters flank round-arched entrances, which also have timber panelled doors and round-arched fanlights, particularly in the second and seventh bays. The remaining bays contain windows, with a regular fenestration pattern above. The first floor features tall windows that diminish in size as they ascend to the attic.
The windows are timber sash and case, with 12-pane glazing and 15-pane glazing at the first floor. The building is topped with ridge stacks that have terracotta cans, and decorative cast-iron railings add to its character. The interior was not seen in 1998.
