Description

66 High Street, formerly known as the Alma Hotel, is a late 18th century, 2-storey terraced house with an irregular plan. It features a 4-bay east elevation that faces High Street and has a canted north gable at the corner of High Street and Stuart Street. The building is constructed of rubble with contrasting tooled ashlar margins. The main entrance is located on the High Street elevation, which has a single window to the left and a pair of windows to the right. The first floor has regular, longer windows, including one blind window with dummy glazing. The north canted gable includes three ground floor windows and two first floor windows. There is a projecting 2-storey wing on Stuart Street, which has a modern single storey extension at the re-entrant angle.

The windows predominantly feature 4- and 12-pane glazing. The building has end stacks and a slate roof that is piended at the north gable. Additionally, there is a mid-20th century single storey concrete extension to the west. The interior was not seen in 2014.
