II
Terraced houses, now flats, forming eastern half of oblong square. 1841 by Roumieu and Gough; pilastered entrances altered in the 1930s and entire square remodelled and restored 1978 by Islington Council. Grey and beige brick set in Flemish bond with stucco dressings and ground-floor; roofs and party-wall stacks obscured by parpets. Side-hall entrance plan with staircase. Austere Neoclassical style.
Square is strongly unified and idiosyncratic composition, forming an oblong but extending into the two exit roads at the narrow ends (with re-entrant corners, the outer angles of which are rounded). Four storeys with basement, three windows each. Continuous giant order to first and second floors composed of pilastrade that rises from ground storey entablature to strong unbroken stucco entablature above second storey. Broad brick pilasters with raised edges squeeze intervening first and second floor sashes, which are separated horizontally by wide moulded-stucco panels. First floor full-length 3/3 sashes with margin lights and simple iron balconettes; second floor with 2/2 sashes with margin lights and iron foliated pattern window guards. Ground-floor two windows wide; steps rise to projecting entrance bay: recessed doorway with pilaster jambs carrying corniced-head, three-panelled door, rectangular overlight and flanking pilasters. Tripartite ground-floor sash set in panelled recess. Brick arcade to third floor with narrow blind arches above pilasters alternating with margined sashes
in-line with sashes to middle storeys. Plain stucco parapet; stucco band indicates where cornice has been removed. Attached iron railings with arrowhead finials and stanchions and smaller similar intermediate finials.
A further four houses to south. Milner Place, by the same architects in similar but milder style, links Milner Square with Gibson Square. Milner Square is important for the radical logic of its design, of a type rarely seen outside Scotland and the North, and unlike anything in London.
