20 Rodger Street, Cellardyke

22 Rodger Street in Cellardyke is a pair of two-storey and attic terraced tenements, built in 1878 by Robert Williamson, a builder and plasterer, with No 38 featuring a datestone from 1883. These tenements were purpose-built for the local fishing community and are complemented by predominantly single-storey freestanding fishing gear storage at the rear, which ends in a corner shop at the northern end (No 38). The street-facing elevation is made of coursed tooled sandstone, while the rear and southern elevation are constructed from rubble. The northern elevation features squared and snecked tooled sandstone. Architectural details include a base course, rectangular piended stair projections at the rear, chamfered window and door openings, and a few remaining cast-iron brackets that support the guttering. The west elevation has polygonal piended dormers, with crowstepped dormerheads on No 38, while the east elevation displays a variety of dormers. The paired houses have stepped rooflines.

The principal west elevation showcases seven paired two-storey and attic tenements, with the northernmost unit housing the corner shop (No 38). The southern unit (No 10) features paired bipartite ground floor windows. Nos 20, 22, and 24 retain some decorative cast-iron gutter brackets. The glazing varies, including some four-pane timber sash and case windows with horns, alongside modern replacements. The roofs are covered with grey slates, and there are large gable end stacks and ridge stacks at the division of paired properties. The doors vary in style, with some being timber four-panel doors and others modern, accompanied by simple rectangular fanlights above.

Inside, No 10 has been modernised, while No 22 includes a ground floor sitting room with a tiled cast-iron fireplace and an inset cupboard to the left, which is glazed above. No 14, formerly the home of Robert Williamson, features an unusual and high-quality plastered ceiling that was restored in 2019, complete with cornicing, a large ornate ceiling rose, and roundels depicting cherub-type figures.

At the rear, there are predominantly single-storey terraced fishing gear storage sheds that form a courtyard with the tenements. These sheds have pantiled roofs and simple timber boarded doors, with some surviving gable stacks. The boundary walls to the west are low coursed sandstone with predominantly chamfered coping, while high dividing walls form the sides of the rear courtyards of the properties.
