House with steps to front, now dance studios. c1835. Red brick in Flemish bond, finely coursed, stone bands and front steps. Shallow pitch hipped slate roof, most missing, end stacks reduced in height. 2 storeys and cellars, 3 bays; restored 6-panel door. Plate-glass sashes. Short flight of steps with moulded risers and low flanking wall to central entrance with portico of Tuscan columns supporting entablature, cornice and blocking course.

Right return: 2 blocked ground-floor openings, right. INTERIOR: not inspected, but internal walls removed when converted to studios. HISTORICAL NOTE: the house stands in the SW corner of the 'Leeds New Town' development of the Squire's Pasture estate which the 5th Earl Cowper sold to a partnership for »29,860 in 1825. The development was intended to provide large houses out of the smoke-laden atmosphere of the city centre, but in 1828 the Earl had to repurchase the land following the partnership's bankruptcy and building was slow, this house being one of few built by 1847 (Nos 50, 52 & 54 Spencer Place, qv). It was later used as the communal offices of the United Hebrew Congregation. Now studios of the Northern School of Contemporary Dance.
