Terrace of ten houses, now subdivided as flats and several shops. Begun 1836. By Thomas Fulljames. Brick faced in ashlar, several houses painted; low pitched, hipped slate roofs, brick stacks. Greek Revival style. PLAN: a long terrace between Theresa Street and Alma Place, set back from Bristol Road behind front gardens; comprises three pairs of double-depth block and mirror image houses with rear wings flanked by a unified, projecting block of two larger houses at either end; the house at each end of the terrace is entered from the side street. EXTERIOR: two storeys with basements and attics. On the fronts and return end elevations, tall basements with continuous crowning band; on the ground and first floors a giant order of pilasters with moulded bases and capitals defining bay divisions, a raised band at first-floor sill level, and a continuous crowning entablature and parapet; on the front of the central six houses each of the mirror image pairs has two narrow bays framing adjoining and deeply-recessed entrance porches, and two flanking wide bays (W-N-N-W). On the ground floor of each house its entrance doorway is approached by a flight of stone steps rising into the porch recess, and over the head of each porch, between the giant pilasters, a moulded architrave supported on a console bracket at each end; the doorways, unless altered, have timber frames with sidelights and rectangular fanlights, some with margin glazing bars, and six-panel doors with upper four panels fielded. In the wide bay of each house on the ground floor a tripartite window with central sash and narrow side sashes, and on the first floor a sash in each bay; all the sashes with glazing bars (3x4 panes and 1x4 panes in sidelights), except where replaced by later sashes in Nos 87, 89 & 91; the fronts of the projecting pairs of houses at each end of the terrace are each of five bays, with a slight projection to the central three bays; on both floors sashes in the second and fourth bays, the other bays blank. The elevations to the side streets are each of three bays, with a projecting, single-storey, closed entrance porch above a basement, and with doorway facing towards the main front

approached by a flight of stone steps with flanking solid balustrade; both porches with corner pilasters and crowning entablatures; doorways with fanlights and six-panel doors. INTERIOR: not inspected. Originally called Theresa Place. (VCH: The City of Gloucester: Oxford: 1988-: 290-291).
