Melrose (D.B.Davies, Pharmacy)

Melrose, a house dating from the early to mid 19th century, is constructed in painted stucco with a slate roof and stone end stacks. It stands three storeys high and features a three-window front. The upper floors have renewed hardwood sash windows, while there are shop windows on either side of the entrance door. The upper sashes are six-pane with flat heads and raised stucco labels, and the first floor has two twelve-pane cambered-headed windows along with a blank centre window, all adorned with cambered stucco labels and keystones.

On the ground floor, the left side has a plate-glass window that replaces the original sash, set in a raised cambered-headed stucco surround with a keystone. The half-glazed door is topped with an overlight and framed in a flat-headed raised stucco surround with a keystone. To the right, there is a broad plate glass shop window in a similar flat-headed surround. The building features slate sills.

The north end wall and the rear wall are made of rubble stone. Photographs from around 1900 show that there were no raised stucco dressings and that the ground floor windows matched each other.
