SD4762 ST GEORGE'S QUAY 1685-1/3/277 (South West side) 18/02/70 Warehouse on corner of Elm Street
GV II
Warehouse, now flats. c1760 converted c1986. Built in conjunction with the neighbouring house, No.25 (qv). Coursed roughly squared sandstone with ashlar dressings to the front, and rendered rubble to side and rear. Slate roof with its coped gable to the road. Approx 15m deep on plan behind a facade which is approx 6m wide. 3 storeys above a cellar with raised quoins on the right and a central loading slot which has a plain surround, as do all the windows, and is flanked by a single-pane window on each floor (originally these were masonry panels with a ventilation slit). The loading slot now has a balcony on each floor. There is no opening in the right half of the top floor, doubtless to strengthen the wall by the crane, which survives in its original wooden form. Below the right window a post box let into the wall. The side wall is now rendered and is pierced by a recent door and by windows on 3 storeys. INTERIOR: when examined in 1985, prior to conversion into flats, the original construction was visible, with softwood beams measuring 340mm by 200mm spanning across the building from corbels at 5 centres and 2 beams spanning back to front in a rear room. Some of these beams on the ground floor bore (apparently genuine) inscriptions: 'IA Apr 3 1760' and 'Isaac Dixon 1773' written with (?) candle blacking, and 'TB 1778' carved. HISTORY: built on plot 35.
