Description
5 and 7 Whitehall Street is a commercial building dating from 1884. It is four storeys high with an attic and features five bays, with shops located on the ground floor. The exterior is constructed from cream sandstone ashlar and topped with a grey slate Mansard roof. The ground floor has a modillioned and corniced design, with an open-work parapet above. There is a cill band at the first floor and a lintel band at the second floor. The main cornice over the second floor is consoled and modillioned, accompanied by a fluted and dentilled lintel band. The wallhead course is corniced and features a balustraded parapet. A pilaster is located at the left angle, topped with a swagged urn finial. The windows are single and canted architraved, with pilasters and triangular and segmental pediments on the first floor. The second floor has colonette nook shafts and pilasters, while the third floor features shouldered windows with mannered volutes. The glazing consists of two-pane timber sash and case windows, and there are corniced ridge stacks.
On the front elevation, there is a pilastered open-pedimented doorpiece with a keystoned round-headed fanlight and a later canopy at the center, flanked by slightly altered shopfronts. The upper floors have three single windows alongside canted windows, and there are three keystoned round-headed dormers flanked by bipartite box dormers.
