1903-04, Henry Grieves architect. Red brick with ashlar dressings to doors and windows etc. Slate roof. Three storeys. Edwardian "baroque" with some nice art nouveau embellishments. Quadrant corner with King Street and the bay arrangement is as follows:- one to King Street, 3 to the quadrant and 6 to Mile End Road. The second and fourth bays to Mile End Road break forward and have semi-circular pediments rising above the stone modillioned eaves cornice. The end sixth bay is carried above the eaves to form a small square tower. This has a pyramidal roof with a nice spikey wrought iron finial. Ground floor openings have semi-circular heads with heavy "Gibbs" surrounds. First floor openings have rusticated architraves with large keystones and stone aprons. The centre window of the quadrant and those in the second and fourth bays to Mile End Road have Ionic pilasters, entablatures and semi-circular pediments. Third floor windows plain rectangular openings with stone frames. Above the curved roof of the quadrant rises a little circular turret cap and with a fine art nouveau wrought iron fleche. This is a nice "conceit" and makes a most successful feature of this corner. This building is the best example of its type in South Shields.

Early 19th century. Ashlar, 3 storeys and slate roof. Each of 2 bays with sashes, reglazed. The ground floors have modern shop fronts inserted. Moulded architraves to windows, the cills to the second floor windows have brackets. Quoins at Each extremity of the elevation. Stone eaves cornice and frieze. Floor levels of no. 107 are slightly lower than those of no. 105 so the present elevation may represent the uniform re-fronting of 2 late 18th century properties.

1913, J. D. Kitson architect. Ashlar, 5 bays in the Renaissance palazzo manner, the order being Roman Doric, but with many individual interpretations which prevent the elevation being merely a worthy scholarly exercise. High ground floor, plain ashlar to cill level, then above, bonded rustication. An entrance in each bay. The ground floor, basement, supports a portico of giant Roman Doric columns rising through 2 floors the centre bays being recessed behind them. The echinus of the order is carved with egg and dart. Above this a full entablature breaking forward over the columns, the frieze being decorated with circles. The elevation is then completed with a very deep parapet. First and second floor windows have architraves and pediments.

Late 1870s. Ashlar to King Street and first return bay to Waterloo Vale, the rest red brick. Slate roof. Three storeys with attics. Six bays to King Street, the centre 2 recessed. Continuous sills and cornices and deep parapet. Over the 2 end pavilions a triangular pediment rises into this parapet. The ground floor contains a modern shop front. All upper floor windows have segmented heads. Very steeply pitched roof which breaks over the end pavilions where they have small square flat tops. These are embellished with cast-iron cresting. The total effect rather French classical in manner.

1866. T M Clemence and J C Phipps. Joint Architects.
This was originally the "New Theatre" (Theatre Royal) whose design was chosen by competition. Although the pedimented portico has been removed and a modern store front inserted across the ground floor it is still a very elegant elevation in the classical manner. The original ground floor contained 2 shops, one on either side of the entrances. It ceased to be a theatre in the early 1930s. Ashlar, now painted, 3 bays and 3 storeys. Ground floor modern store front, with a modillion cornice. This cornice is original. The upper elevation has a Corinthian pilaster under. Unfluted pilasters, paired at the centre bay, stand on pedestals and rise through 2 storeys and support a full entablature with plain frieze and modillion cornice. Above the cornice a deep parapet with pedestals over the pilasters. First floor windows, modern glazing, have architraves and pediments supported on scrolled brackets. Triangular to the outer bays, segmental to the centre bay. The 2 outer bays of the second floor are lit by oval windows whose architraves are decorated by swags descending from masks of comedy and tragedy. The centre bay has a framed, recessed, horizontal panel.
