Description
19 King Street is a two-storey commercial building featuring four bays. It is constructed of painted stucco and has a slate roof that is close-eaved and lacks chimneys. Historical photographs indicate that it originally had bracketed eaves and two dormers. The first floor includes four closely spaced hornless sash windows, which have horizontal glazing bars and moulded stucco surrounds, with a sill band below. The ground floor has a late 19th-century shop front that has been altered, featuring large plate glass single-pane windows on either side of a recessed central door. There is a similar plate-glass canted window into the doorway, which includes a two-panel door and an overlight. The corners of the windows are accented with thin turned wooden columns or half-columns, and there are panelled pilasters on either side of the shop front, adorned with ornate brackets carved with the faces of Shakespeare and Chaucer, with a cornice above.
The upper floors retain extensive features from the 18th century. There is a staircase leading to the attic, which has turned balusters and a closed pulvinated string. The front rooms feature large fielded panelling, with a panelled partition between them and moulded cornices. The east room has fielded panelling on the back wall, sunk panelling on the partition wall, and moulded cornices on a two-panel ceiling with an encased centre beam. Both front rooms have fielded panelled shutters, and the rear room is also panelled.
