Description

6 Park Street is a Grade II listed building designed in the English Baroque style. It stands three stories tall with an attic and features a domed corner. The ground floor is constructed with brown glazed brick piers, while the upper floors are made of red brick adorned with extensive dressings in matt grey faience that mimic stone. The building has a slate roof and brick ridge stacks, with plain rear elevations made of rubble stone.

The Market Street elevation consists of eight bays arranged in a 1-6-1 pattern, while the Park Street side has seven bays arranged in a 2-4-1 configuration, highlighted by an ornate corner bay at the northwest angle topped with a dome.

On the ground floor, channelled glazed piers separate the shopfronts, with two narrower bays on Market Street that provide access to upper offices. The grey faience caps feature pendant labels between fascia panels, and there is a moulded cornice above. The upper floors have slightly projected flanking bays with channelled faience angle piers, moulded caps with pendant labels, and a fine overall moulded cornice with a pulvinated frieze that is broken forward over the angle bays. The windows are small-paned sashes in the Queen Anne style, linked vertically. The central bays have shouldered architraves and cornices, while the outer bays feature pediments on brackets at the first floor and cornices on brackets at the second floor. The angle bay is fully clad in faience on the upper floors and includes a canted two-storey bay with broad front sashes, a pediment on the first floor, a flat cornice on the second floor, and narrow lights on the canted sides with plain cornices above.

The attic floor has large lunettes over the flanking bays, with faience arches, cornice, coping, and side piers, along with red brick walling and a row of eaves that break between segmental-headed dormers featuring faience keystones and coping. The dome at the angle is composed of two stages: a lower canted section with one window and two faience piers, and an octagonal drum with scrolled faience angle buttresses, small square windows, and a leaded bell-cast dome topped with a wooden spike finial.
