House, now shops and offices. Late C18 or early C19. Stucco.
Hipped roof of slate rebuilt in C20.
3 storeys. The building sits on the west side of East Street
on the south corner where the street widens to form the small
square in front of Nos 28-31 and 33-36 (qv). Both elevations
have a 3-window range. All windows flat arched with
architraves, those to second floor have projecting sills
moulded as a modillioned cornice. The ground floor is taken up
with a shop front built since 1980. The second- and
third-window ranges of the elevation on East Street proper are
blocked. There is early C20 stained glass in all upper-floor
sashes except for the centre-window range on the elevation to
the square.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Nos 26-31 and 33-36 East Street (qv) face onto what is, in
effect, a small square, which is formed by the widening of
East Street at its northern end. Legend has it that this group
was built on the site of a small wharf of an inlet.
