This building was listed Grade II in 1980 with the following description:
'House, Circa 1700. Dark red brick in 4 and one English garden wall bond; roof of pantiles. 3 storeys, 3 bays. Double garage door inserted in ground floor; gauged brick flat arches to windows on upper floors, all boarded up. Brick floor strings. Shaped Flemish right gable to high-pitched, swept roof. Rear extension to ground floor. Interior largely gutted.' {1}.
Recorded by Grace McCombie in 1998. The house was adapted for commercial use in the 19th century. Major alterations were made to the ground floor, where only a small section of ceiling cornice survives. Much more original detail survives on the upper floors. In 1831 the owner of the house was the late A. McGregor's representatives. In 1869 it was Mr Glenton's house with a yard and outbuildings to the rear. The elevation drawings of 1869 show sashes on first and second floors of the gabled rear wing, and mullions and transoms elsewhere. There was an engine behind the eastern chimney stack. Goad Insurance Plans of 1899 show this plot as No. 7 Rosemary Lane. The building was at that time occupied by the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and had a wide vehicle entrance knocked through the front wall. By 1930 Newcastle Chronicle occupied the building. There was a garage on the ground floor. The building is very important as it is the only house of this scale and type to survive in Newcastle, despite the fact that old photographs show that such buildings were to be found in all the major streets. The house was of some quality, built in the fashionable style of the time with flat brick arches over the front windows and dormers to the rear. Each of the three floors had two rooms. On the first floor were the important reception rooms. The second floor was less elaborate, probably bedrooms. The kitchen may have been in the short rear wing, with servants quarters above it. Cast-iron hob grates were added to the principal fires in the 18th century. The shaped gable to the east is original. That on the west is a recent addition (post 1998).
