house

Attached two-bay four-storey former townhouse, built c. 1820, as pair with No. 47 (50920018). Now in use as shop with recent shopfront inserted to ground floor. M-profile slate roof hidden behind rendered parapet wall (cornice removed) with two rendered chimneystacks to south party wall having glazed clay pots. Brick walls laid in Flemish bond with channel-rusticated soldier quoins to north-end. Square-headed window openings with masonry sills, Roman cement architraves and timber sash windows; historic three-over-six to third floor, six-over-six to second floor and one-over-one (with glazing bars removed) to first floor, all having convex horns. Recent glazed timber shopfront spanning ground floor. Forming part of continuous terrace of commercial buildings lining east side of Grafton Street.

This former townhouse retains its original residential plot size, fenestration pattern and historic windows, and forms part of a group of four similarly scaled buildings at the south-eastern end of Grafton Street. It is part of a historic streetscape which clearly depicts the earlier character of the street, before Victorian and twentieth-century buildings were inserted.
