Nos. 64 and 66 are two shops within a single late Victorian double fronted brick commercial building, erected 1882/83, on three floors, each with symmetrical upper floors. The first and second floors each have two pairs of sash windows with flat brick soldier course lintels over each window and 'Doric' style pilasters on each side and between each pair of windows. The pairs of windows with framing pilasters continue up to roof parapet level of each building and are capped with moulded brick pediment with herringbone pattern brickwork within the tympanum. The pilasters are finished above the second floor windows with flat brick soldier arches. Moulded brick string courses link capitals to ground floor windows; there are cills to all windows, and capitals to first floor pilasters and as capping to roof level parapet. Stone/concrete cills to first floor windows are supported by moulded brick corbels under each pilaster. It has roof concrete pan tiles with ridge coping in red/brown tiles. (1)
