Description

2 Queen Street is a house with a shop, part of an informal terrace. It features painted stucco and a slate roof with paired bracketed eaves and a stuccoed stack at the right end. The building has three storeys, with the upper two floors displaying a single 12-pane sash window to the right of centre. The ground floor includes a doorway to the left and a 19th-century shop window to the right. There is an overall late 20th-century timber shelf cornice supported by four console brackets. The shop window, similar to that of No 18, has four lights with a transom and cast-iron spandrel brackets, which contain coloured glass. Both the window and doorway have plain stucco surrounds, and there are two stuccoed steps leading up to a six-panel door, with the top two panels being glazed. The building has a raised plinth and a fluted rainwater head, which may date from the early 19th century.

In 1981, the doorway featured a cornice on fluted and scrolled consoles, and the casing of the shop window may have been simplified. Inside, there is an earlier 19th-century narrow stair leading from the first floor to the attic, which contains a pine roof truss.
