History
A probably late C16 building gable end to the street, refronted in the early C19 and with a C20 shopfront. The common cornice and parapet suggest that this may have been refronted together with No. 89 (qv), but note the slightly different floor levels which shows that only the refronting was done together.
Exterior
Rendered and painted front with the roof not visible from the street. Double depth plan. Three storeys, one window. Ground floor with late C20 oriel display window and doorway to right with part glazed door and small hood. The first floor has a 2 over 2 pane sash; the second floor has a smaller one suggesting an original gabled front. Cornice band and coped parapet.
Interior
The ground floor front room has a late C16 stone framed fireplace on the rear wall with a stop chamfered beam above it. Interior otherwise not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as one of a pair of post-medieval historic buildings in the Monmouth town centre.
