A trio of 4-story residential buildings originally completed together in 1846. No. 541 was also originally part of the row. These houses were erected for men who all were associated with the building trades, either as builders or suppliers: William Livingston, a carpenter (No. 541), Edward Black,, a mason (No. 543), Daniel French, a stone merchant (No. 545), and Richard Taylor, a coal dealer (No. 547).

Nos. 543 and 545 have simple rows of brick corbels at the top, while No. 547 has been rebuilt with a plain brick parapet. They have all retained their muntined double-hung windows except No. 547, where the third floor windows have been replaced. The stores have all been modernized and those at Nos. 543 and 545 have; a paneled brick band course above them. The ground floors are occupied by Gemini Spa, Pet Portraits, and Leo Design gifts.
