The air raid shelter in the north-west corner of the rear garden of 37 Park Avenue was recorded in February 2016 ahead of its demolition. The structure was partly sunken with brick walls of two leaves laid in three course English Garden Wall bond. Over these was a reinforced concrete roof, cast in-situ, with clear impressions of the formwork timber used in its construction. Latterly the roof had been re-used as the base of a greenhouse. The whole rectangular construction measured approx. 3m x 2m at its external extents. The air raid shelter was accessed by a straight flight of 8 pre-cast concrete steps at its south-east corner. No significant phasing or alteration of the structure was noted.

Department store built in 1956 and designed by Milburn and Partners out of brick and reinforced concrete. Basement plus four storeys. The ground floor features a black marble plinth and surround. The first and second floors have a brick and render façade with feature bands of white painted concrete. The corners on St. Thomas Street are white rendered. The third floor has a profiled metal cladding façade with a white painted concrete structure. The fourth floor (offices and stores) was added in the 1960s and is concrete overclad with timber panels and windows. Joplings was established in 1804 by James Jopling. He went into partnership with Joseph Tuer. In 1891 the business was bought by Hedley, Swan & Co as a drapery, clothing and furniture warehouse. They expanded the store to 173-177 High Street. They bought J T Calvert's department store and moved Joplings to 126-129 High Street West in 1919. On 13 December 1954 the store burnt down. It operated from a temporary store on High Street until the new building was built in John Street in 1956. The store featured the first escalator in Sunderland. In 2005 the store was purchased from Merchant Retail Group PLC by Owen Owen Ltd. In 2007 Vergo Retail took over the Owen Owen stores. In 2010 Vergo was placed into administration. Joplings closed that same year.
