Attached house, now offices. 1709. By John Price. Refronted 1736 for Jacob Elton, possibly by John Strahan. Limestone ashlar, roof not visible. Double-depth plan. Baroque style. 3 storeys and attic; 4-window range. Pilasters are rusticated on the ground floor, panelled on the second, and fluted on the third, with a plinth, deep strings that break forward over the pilasters, and a cornice with sill blocks below the windows in the plain, coped attic storey. A later Tuscan porch to the left of centre has columns to a pediment, and a 6-panel door. The windows have eared and shouldered architraves, heads, with scribed voussoirs, that become more curved up the facade, first-floor keys below the string, second-floor keys up to aprons under the cornice, and fluted cill-block panels; 6/6-pane sashes, a narrow 4/4-pane sash to the left of the door, C20 casements in the attic, and 9/9-pane rear sashes with thick bars. INTERIOR: a fairly complete early C18 interior includes a panelled entrance hall with a fanlight, to a rear stairwell with a good open-well stair, an uncut string, square newels with pendents, barleysugar balusters and a moulded rail, and wainscot; panelled partitions, fully-panelled ground- and first-floor rooms, 2-panel doors, bolection-moulded fireplaces, and cornices. A striking facade, '...one of the most interesting Baroque terrace-house fronts in England' (Gomme). (Gomme A, Jenner M and Little B: Bristol, An Architectural History: Bristol: 1979-: 125; Ison W: The Georgian Buildings of Bristol: Bath: 1952-: 170).
