27 Street

27 Street is a late 19th-century building featuring two three-storey and attic, four-bay symmetrical tenements with shops on the ground floor, forming part of a terrace. The exterior is mainly constructed from tooled, squared, coursed yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the shopfronts at No 29 include painted ashlar and ceramic tiles with chrome detailing. The rear is made of squared, coursed, bull-faced yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings and some yellow brick. There is a random rubble courtyard wing at the back of No 29, which has some droved ashlar dressings.

Architectural details include a fascia cornice, a continuous hoodmould at the first floor, and an eaves course that connects the second-floor lintels. The building features stop-chamfered quoin strips that run continuously with the eaves course, as well as stop-chamfered, roll-moulded window margins that are shouldered at the first floor and basket-arched with raised, bracketed cills at the second floor. Each block has two symmetrically placed canted dormers, and there is a polygonal stair tower with two dormers at the rear of each block.

At No 27, there is a pend entrance to the right of a late-20th-century shopfront on the ground floor. The interior includes a curved stone tenement stair with tongue-and-groove timber panelling up to dado level.

No 29 features two 1930s shopfronts flanking a pend entrance at ground level, and there is a late-18th- or early-19th-century, two-storey L-plan building lining the cobbled rear courtyard. The interior of both shops has glazed ceramic tiles and chrome fixtures on the walls, along with a stone tenement stair that also has tongue-and-groove timber panelling to dado level.

The building has fixed plate glass shop windows and predominantly four-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows above. The roof is made of grey slate with a metal ridge, ashlar-coped skews, and a coped ashlar end stack with circular buff clay cans.
