DARTMOUTH MAYORS AVENUE (North side) 1-6 The Sail Loft, No 12

(Formerly listed as Warehouse adjoining west end of No.13 (No.13 not included))

GV II

Warehouse. Late C18/early C19. Mostly local stone rubble, but includes sections of weather-boarded timber-framing; slate roof. PLAN: Long rectangular building end onto the street. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. The front bay of the long side wall is blind. Behind are 6 bays (a further 2 at the rear now behind a later C19 house there) defined by full-height stone piers. Some of the bays are filled with stone rubble up to first-floor level but most have full-width garage/workshop doors. All bays are weather-boarded at first- and second-floor levels. A couple of the first-floor windows are old, with vertical glazing bars and overlapping panes, but most are late C20 replacements. Second bay back has full-width loading bay at first-floor level and small boarded hatch at second-floor level with remains of hoist. Third bay back has flight of stone steps to first-floor plank door. Front gable-end wall has ground-floor doorway under a brick low segmental arch and now contains a C20 glazed door, first-floor loading hatch door, and weather-boarded second floor with wide loading bay under a hoist. Rear gable-end wall has a doorway and a window above in the blocking of an original loading hatch. INTERIOR: Plain sturdy carpentry exposed in places, but most is hidden. Roof is boarded over and inaccessible. HISTORY: The warehouses on Mayors Avenue and No.26 Foss Street (qv) were built as waterfront buildings and are of historic interest because of their associations with the maritime history of the port. The street which they face was built in 1876-7 on reclaimed land.
