GV II

Terrace of seven houses along west side of Myddelton 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; artificial slate, others obscured by parapets, brick party-wall stacks. Side-hall entrance plan. Four storeys with basement; 2 windows each. Right-hand return wall of 2-window range to no. 67 in Inglebert Street and left-hand return wall of 2-window range to no. 73 in River Street. Symmetrical facade with slightly projecting end houses. Steps rise to round or elliptical-arched entrance to left (stucco portico side entrance to no. 67 return in Inglebert Street): architraved doorway with 3/4 fluted column jambs (panelled pilaster jambs to no. 67) carrying corniced-head, patterned fanlight and original panelled door. Ground-floor round and elliptical-arched architraved sashes (margin lights and coloured glass to no. 70) 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 cast-iron balconies with bamboo and anthemion pattern to railings. Extensive rebuilding to upper floors of nos. 71-73; plain brick parapet with brick string course and stone coping. Good cast-iron railings with urn and acorn finials. 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).
