Description

28-34 Bruce Street is a terrace of four cottages from the early 19th century, with some alterations. The building is two stories high and has five bays, with most of the ground floor featuring later shopfronts. The gable ends are coped and have moulded skewputts. The structure is made of sandstone rubble and is harled on the principal (west) and south elevations.

On the west elevation, the ground floor is irregular and has been significantly altered. There are entrances in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th bays; the entrances in the 3rd and 5th bays (Nos 28 and 32) are set back within shopfronts. The doors are made of timber, with panelled doors for Nos 28 and 30, the latter being a two-leaf door. A shop window wraps around the corner to the outer right (No 28). No 34 has a double-fronted design, with a shop window to the left of the entrance and an architraved window to the right. There are shop windows on either side of the entrance to No 32, and a single window to the right of the entrance to No 30. The first floor features slightly irregular, widely spaced windows.

The south elevation has a modern wraparound shop window to the left on the ground floor and an inserted window to the right. The north elevation has a small window to the left on each floor.

The building has various windows, mainly modern, with the first floor featuring mostly four and twelve-pane timber sash and case windows on the principal elevation. The roof is a replacement pantile, with low gablehead stacks at either end of the block; the southern stack is harled, and there is a low rendered ridge stack to the left of center, although the cans are missing.

The interiors have not been inspected since 1998.
