Description
The apartment block of Granville Court is a fine example of early twentieth century architecture. The seven storey Edwardian building is made of red brick and retains its original metal windows. It is constructed around a central courtyard and has four sets of art deco style balconies. The door arches and features such as the balustrades and window pediments are sandstone. At the north elevation an elaborate narrow window rises the height of the central stair spine. LOCAL LIST
