Abstract:		 In April 2008 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out historic building recording of 65 Catherine Street, St Albans in order to inform proposals for the development involving buildings on the site. The building was constructed in 1904 to a design by local architect Percival Blow. It comprises a shop at the corner of St Catherine Street and Etna Street, a first floor flat and a yard, formerly used as mason's and then a builders yard, in Etna Street. From the outside the building is an impressive example of late 19th/early 20th century commercial architecture. It was extended southwards by the early 1920s to provide an additional room on both floors that may have been used as workshop, office or store for the mason's yard. Further alterations took place when the window in the south elevation of the shop was bricked up, possibly when the conservatory was added sometime between 1939 and 1964. These alterations have not seriously affected the architectural integrity of the building. The external details including the shop front with its ornamental pediment still provide the building and the local townscape with a great deal of character. To add to the character, the south wall contains ashlared clunch, which may have been reused from other sites in St Albans. The interior of the building is clearly in need of attention, having been largely neglected since the 1970s. The only features of interest that survive are the front staircase and the first floor fireplaces.
