With grey rusticated bricks on the upper face and more contemporary multicolored bricks on the lower, we may assume that the former are original and the latter are not. The exposed rock faces of the side walls, suggestive of pillars, are a nice touch.
From a Walking Tour of
Nelson’s Heritage Buildings, number 11.
This Late Victorian style building is constructed with coursed rusticated blocks. The decorative designs of the cornice and the puzzling use of keystones on flat lintels clearly were used to make the building appear more impressive. The attractive, random stone firewall
on the side probably was intended to be hidden by an adjoining structure.
