64 Commercial Street, Lerwick

64 Commercial Street in Lerwick is an early 19th-century, two-storey and attic, three-bay tenement with a later sympathetic three-bay extension to the northeast, which features a tapered plan that gives it a half-gable appearance towards the harbour. The southeast and northeast elevations are cement-rendered, while the southwest gable is made of stugged squared and snecked sandstone above a cement-rendered shopfront. The rear elevation is cement-rendered and lined rubble.

The southeast elevation, facing Market Cross, is asymmetrical with six bays arranged in two groups of three. The leftmost bay contains a door, and the center bay has a narrow window, while the remaining bays feature two-pane fixed-light shop windows. The corners are chamfered and corbelled out to a square at the first floor.

The southwest elevation, facing Commercial Street, has a two-leaf vertically-boarded timber door at the ground level on the outer right, with two four-pane fixed-light shop windows to the left. The first floor has regular fenestration, with a single window located to the right of center in the gablehead.

The northeast elevation features an asymmetrical two-bay half-gable. There is a panelled door with a glazed upper section and a plate glass fanlight at ground level in the right bay, a two-pane fixed-light shop window to the left, and regular fenestration at the first floor, with a single window centered between the bays in the gablehead.

The northwest rear elevation is asymmetrical and angled away on the left, with irregular fenestration, including some infilled openings. There is a two-leaf vertically-boarded timber door at the outer left.

The building has predominantly modern glazing and a purple-grey slate roof with cast-iron downpipes. The southwest stack is stugged, while the northeast stack is harled, both topped with circular cans, and the skew copes are cement-rendered.
