Terrace of nine houses, some now flats, at NW corner of Myddelton Square, no. 58 faces onto Mylne Street and forms entrance to square. 1824-1827. By William Chadwell Mylne, Surveyor to the New River Estate. Yellow stock brick set in Flemish bond with banded stucco ground-floor and stucco dressings; Welsh-slate gabled roofs, dormers to nos. 62-65, no. 64 mansard roof, brick party-wall stacks. Side-hall entrance plan. Four storeys with basement; 2 windows each plus left-hand return wall to no. 66 in Inglebert Street of 3-window range plus extension. Steps rise to round and elliptical-arched entrance to left (no. 58 has segmental-arched entrance to right and late C19 bay window to left ground-floor; nos. 63 and 65 door changed to sashes; no. 66 with projecting stucco entrance in return): doorway with architraved surrounds (nos. 62-66) and others set in stucco recess; 3/4 fluted column jambs (nos. 59-62), reeded surround (no. 64) or panelled pilaster jambs carrying corniced-head (no. 58 entrance set within flanking stucco pilasters carrying entablature) fanlight (nos. 58-59, 66 patterned) and original panelled door (no. 66 with double doors) to nos. 58-62, 63-65, 66. Ground-floor round and elliptical-arched sashes set in architraved surround or stucco recess with panel below. Gauged brick flat-arched mostly 6/6 and 3/3 sashes to upper floors. 1st floor stucco sill band beneath full-length sashes set in arched recesses linked by stucco impost bands and with iron-bracketed coupled (except no. 58 individual) cast-iron balconies with Vitruvian scroll and anthemion pattern to railings. Some rebuilding to upper floors; plain brick parapet with brick string course and stone coping. Attached cast-iron railings with urn and acorn finials; Neoclassical style cast-iron entrance-gate piers to no. 58. This is the largest square in the area aside from Finsbury Square. It is considered by some to be Islington's best and most important adornment of the New River Estate, and stylistically, it is the most cohesive in the district. (The Squares of Islington: Cosh, M: The Squares of Islington Part I: Finsbury and Clerkenwell: Islington: 1990-: 59-62).
