Description
15 and 17 South Charlotte Street is a former classical tenement building dating from around 1790. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and attic, featuring three bays. The exterior is made of droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, and it has been partly cleaned of stone. The ground floor showcases V-jointed rustication, while the eaves are adorned with a cornice. An arched doorway with a plate glass fanlight is located to the right. The windows are architraved and corniced on the first floor, and there are two canted piend-roofed dormers. The gable end is constructed from broad coursed rubble and includes a variety of window styles. The building has timber sash and case windows with plate glass. Ashlar coped skews and stone stacks, which are rendered on the south side, are topped with grey slates. The interior was not seen in 1995 but has been significantly modernised for office use. The property also features cast-iron spearhead railings and a single wrought-iron lamp standard.
