Andrews Buildings

Andrews Buildings, located at Nos 63 to 77 Queen Street, is a large four-storey block built in the free Renaissance style and faced in bathstone. The building features horned sash glazing, with square-headed windows on the top floor, generally camber-headed windows on the second floor, and round-headed windows on the first floor. There are five two-storey oriel windows on the first and second floors.

The frontage, which has a parapet with small pediments, consists of nine bays. Starting from the left, there are three windows (with a cinema entrance below), followed by a two-storey oriel window, the entrance to Andrews Chambers, another two-storey oriel window, three more windows, another two-storey oriel window, the entrance to the former arcade, a pair of two-storey oriel windows, and a four-window bay. On the ground floor, there are generally modern shopfronts and the cinema entrance. The entrances to Andrews Chambers and the former Andrews Arcade both feature oculi at the first-floor level; the chambers have a pedimented stone doorway with a date, while the arcade entrance is simplified.
