Building record 1479500000 - 74 & 76 Frederick Street

Both 19th century cottages are arranged around a central passage entrance (now incorporated into no. 76) which is contained beneath a stone arch above which is a the date 1885 inscribed onto a stone plaque. Each terrace has a ground floor door flanked by a window, but the first floor window is centrally positioned above the ground floor door and window. Door and window openings are visually emphasised by stone surrounds, lintels and projecting sills supported on scroll corbels which contrast with the red of the brickwork. All original windows and doors have been replaced with modern units. Despite this the building is significant because it retains its original form as well as the layout of the principal elevations. It is also visually striking due to the effective use of contrasting materials to emphasise fenestration openings. Local Building of Note within the Conservation Area (B1).
