Description
This building, known as 2/L and Top Floor Flats (accessed from and known as 59 Dock Street), including 1/L, 60 Dock Street, was likely designed by C & L Ower around 1880. It is a well-detailed three-storey and attic, single bay Dutch-gabled terraced tenement with a shop on the ground floor, located on a busy city street facing the former Custom House and flanked by other listed buildings. The exterior features squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings. The traditional shop front includes a mutuled cornice, a band course with circular end stops, and a decorative corbelled frieze with the monogram 'JH' and finialled dies.
The ground floor has roll-moulded shouldered openings, while the first floor features a tripartite window with a hoodmould that has stop-chamfered arrises and lintels. The second floor has a pointed arch bipartite window with a hoodmould and label stops, and a diminutive corbelled V-plan bipartite window under a fishscale-slated roof at the shaped gable, which has a blocky segmental stone finial.
On the rear elevation to the northwest, there is a two-storey narrow bay with horizontally-boarded timber and a traditional timber hoist in a small gablehead. The first floor has plate glass glazing in a timber sash and case window, while the ground floor has a fixed shop window. The second floor and attic feature non-traditional uPVC windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the skews are ashlar-coped.
Inside, the first floor includes moulded cornicing, a decorative ceiling rose, panelling, and part-glazed timber partitioning.
