37 and 39 Jamaica Street is the address of an historic carriage-works in Jamaica Street, Stokes Croft, Bristol.
It was originally built in 1905 as a two-storey building, but a further two floors were later added.
After the hulk HMS Daedalus was sold for scrap in 1911, 37 Jamaica street became the home of the Bristol Royal Naval Reserve unit, before moving to the 24-class sloop HMS Flying Fox in the 1920s.
Between 1975 and 2001 it was occupied by Powred Heating & Burner Spares, a local supplier of parts for central heating systems.
The top 3 floors of the building are inhabited by artist-led Jamaica Street Studios, home to around 30 artist studios for over 25 years. The ground floor is now run by the artist group as a collaborative creative space for exhibitions, workshops, and events.
It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.
