Hipped graduated slate roof; original red brick chimney stacks. 2 storeys, 5 bays on a semicircular corner site. Central corner-shop window is original, divided into panels, the upper ones under rounded arches of stained glass in floral pattern, the lower panels of wood; right panelled door, all under sign board on wooden pilasters. No.1 to right has panelled door and overlight in stone surround. Sash windows in moulded quoined surrounds, continued over the shop and onto the Finkle Street facade."
"INTERIOR not inspected. An earlier house was demolished in 1892 to widen Finkle Street; No.1 does not appear in Kelly's Cumberland Directory, 1894, but was there by 1897. For a history of this corner site see Trans. CWASS, NS, LXXXVI. (Kelly's Cumberland Directory: 1894; Cumb. & West. Antiquarian &Archaeological Soc., New Series: LXXXVI: P.259-260)."
