"House converted to shop with storage accommodation over. Late C18 with C20 alterations. Red sandstone ashlar with V-jointed calciferous sandstone quoins and dentilled cornice. Graduated greenslate roof with rebuilt end brick chimney stack. 3 storeys, 3 bays. Entire ground floor has late C20 shop front. Sash windows above in painted stone architraves."
"INTERIOR: ground floor extensively altered. A painting by an unknown artist of the Market Place (Carlisle Museum) shows the ground floor when a house. In 1816 this became Thurnams, stationer and printers, who remained here into the 1960s. An 1835 painting of the Market Place by WH Nutter (Carlisle Museum) shows this as Thurnams. An 1860s photograph (William Brown Library, Liverpool) of the James Steel statue (qv) shows this building in the background, still with its original ground floor. Later alteration of the ground floor incorporated a canopy, held by the 4 brackets which survive over the ground floor."
