English garden wall bond brickwork on chamfered plinth (all dressings of calciferous sandstone) with band of decorative red tiles and sill band. Hipped red tile roof with decorative half-timbered gables and scrolled finial; tall rear red brick chimney stacks. 2-storey octagonal building. On the corner angle are C20 double doors in a moulded brick segmental arched surround (signs of where a wooden porch has been removed). Each face has paired sash windows on 2 levels, except where joined to other buildings, partly with glazing bars and some C19 coloured glass, under shaped lintels and in brick reveals." "INTERIOR not inspected." "Unified to the terrace housing on North Street (not included) by a single-bay link. GR wall post box is set into one of the faces. Carlisle Journal (1882), states that the building opened in January of that year; original building plans are in Cumbria County Record Office (Ca/E4/1403). For illustration and further details, see the company magazine Home Headings (1949). When laid out in the 1850s North Street was originally called Morley Street. (Carlisle Journal: 31 March 1882; Home Headings (Company Magazine), December 1949: P.4-5)." |
