Description

4 Oliver Place is a three-storey and attic, four-bay tenement building dating from around 1878. It features two shops on the ground floor and is part of a terrace. The building has two bipartite, stone-mullioned wallhead dormers and a mansard roof. The shopfronts are painted ashlar, while the main structure is made of tooled yellow sandstone ashlar with raised, polished ashlar dressings above. The rear is constructed from roughly squared yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings and raised cills, and there is a single-storey rear brick extension.

The shopfronts have plain fascias with a continuous cornice, and there is a cill course and continuous hoodmoulds at the first floor. An eaves course connects the second-floor lintels and rises to a corbelled cornice, which is broken beneath the dormers by raised sections with roundels. The building has quoin strips and stop-chamfered margins. The first-floor windows have shouldered architraves, while the second-floor windows feature basket-arched margins and corbelled cills. The central entrance has a six-panel timber door with a four-pane, shouldered fanlight above.

The shopfronts are fitted with fixed plate glass, and there are some timber sash and case windows above with four-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are some ashlar-coped skews and corniced ashlar stacks with octagonal buff clay cans. The building also has cast-iron rainwater goods.
