Hi
There is an unusual looking building on the corner of Hardy Street and Fisher Street in Maidstone, does anyone know what this used to be? It was a computer shop, but that has now closed down. It has an unusual tower on the corner and very elaborate stonework. I was wondering if it was a private house built and owned by someone eccentric or something else?
Any pointers on how to look into this would be great
Thanks
Laura

I think I know the building you mean. I assumed it was OTT Victorian architecture.
Have you found it in any of the census? It should tell you whether is was a residential or commercial property

I'm not sure if the property is in Hardy St or Fisher St. 
Nor how the streets are numbered.
On the 1881 census Montague KELSEY was a grocer at 1 Fisher Street, so perhaps it was always a shop.
2 Hardy Street was occupied by William ASHENDEN, a newspaper sub-editor.
