108 St. Paul Street



Three-bay, two-storey, Georgian-style, red-brick house with (painted) buff-brick trim, and with replacement windows and reworked front doorway (c. 1860).

Description – Building is built of hand-made brick, set on beveled, buff-brick plinth over local-stone foundation, with (painted) full-height, buff-brick quoins. Symmetrical façade has different replacement windows either side of front door, and three, 1/1, replacement windows at second floor, all over original wood sills (now aluminum-clad). Segmental (buff) brick voussoirs are painted white throughout, soffits are clad in aluminum, and an aluminum downpipe extends down masonry at LH side. Replacement transom window at front door is largely hidden by inappropriate metal canopy. Side-lights and lower panels are assumed to remain behind painted plywood. Door is modern slab-type, with meager, semi-circular, upper window. Aluminum frieze spans full width of upper wall, possibly hiding a wooden frieze, adjacent aluminum cladding at eaves. At wall-head, areas of cleaner brick either side of central window and at corners suggest lost, ornamental, eaves brackets. Gutters are ogee-type aluminum and roof has light-green asphalt shingles, with ventilator behind peak. There is evidence of settlement (repointed in cement) below window sills.
