Formerly known as: No.36 CHARLES STREET.
Painting rooms for theatrical scenery. 1851-52. Large stucco-
fronted building of rectangular plan. 3 storeys 3 bays, the
openings in full height round arched recesses. Central loading
doors on upper floors, flanked by sash windows with glazing
bars. Ground floor openings altered at centre and left. Half
glazed door and small window at right.
INTERIOR: not inspected but the large interior space, with its
paint frame, a large cast-iron frame designed to be winched up
and down through a slot in the floor so that the artist

of a separate scene-painting premises outside a theatre.
HISTORICAL NOTE: of considerable historical interest as having
been the workshop of Thomas Grieve and Son, scenic artists,
from 1851 to 1879, who initiated the system of free-lance
painters working on their own premises rather than within
theatres.
