Description

7 Cross Street is a two-storey building with a rendered and painted front and a natural slate roof, dating from the late 19th century. It has a double depth plan with the entrance located on the left side. The façade features two windows and a notable late 19th-century shopfront that includes a projecting display window with a large fascia and cornice to the right of the entrance, which is adorned with a handsome panelled door. The shop window is divided into three large panes by slim timber mullions.

The first-floor windows are 2 over 2 pane sashes, each with ornamental hoodmoulds supported by brackets. The second-floor windows mirror this design but are positioned close under the eaves. The building has a plain low pitch roof. At the back, the street range extends with a long wing that runs up the central alleyway, which is also rendered and painted, revealing timber framing in some areas. Most of the features in this range are from the 20th century. The range concludes with a square block that may have once been a detached structure.

The interior details were not available during the resurvey, but the ground floor shop features a compartmented ceiling with ovolo moulded beams, and the rear premises are visible as timber framed.
