History
Pair of early C19 smaller town houses to the left of the distinctive Pembroke Market Emporium (former National School of 1861).
Exterior
Three-storey two-window pair of simple late Georgian houses with painted stucco fronts and continuous slate roof divided by central capping. Chimneys removed except where a brick stack adjoins the higher gable of No 87 to left. Eaves band to No 83 which has 4-pane sashes in plain reveals and projecting sills. Offset to left is a fine, inserted double shop front with fascia and cornice curved up and over the arched and splayed central doorway; panelled end pilasters with paterae to caps, flush panel door. Interior of shop has cast-iron columns with foliage capitals, boarded shop window to right.
No 85 has billet detail to eaves band, 2-pane sashes in plain reveals with projecting sills; small-pane Georgian style sashes flank 9-panel centre door under plain fanlight.
Reason for designation
Included mostly for group value with other listed buildings along the S side of Main Street, and for the fine C19 shop front at No 83.
