Two houses, now hotel. 1831/1832 and designed by Peter Atkinson for Alderman William Dunsley. Brick with painted stone dressings and slate roof.
EXTERIOR: three storeys plus an attic storey and cellars. The facade to The Mount is of three bays and has a painted stone plinth, a cornice below the two attic windows, and a gutter cornice. The windows are glazing bar sashes with painted lintels. The central window on the ground floor is a restoration: an RCHM photograph shows a doorway in this position. Chimney to right. Adjoining to the right is a second former house, also part of the hotel. It is lower, of three storeys and two bays. The ground floor has C20 polished stone cladding and a glazed entrance. The upper storeys have glazing bar sashes with painted rusticated lintels with a leaf pattern on their keystones. Further C20 additions to the right.
The left-hand return wall of No.77, facing Park Street, is similar in detail to the three bays facing The Mount. It is of four bays, plus a right-hand bay which is blank except for a ground-floor window. The windows are glazing bar sashes, except for the two left-hand attic windows which are centre-pivoted. The fourth window on the second floor is a blind glazing bar sash. Only the windows to the third and fourth bays, above the wide entrance, have painted stone or stucco lintels. This entrance has two engaged Greek Doric columns in antis with fluted necking, a plain frieze and cornice, and flanking lights. The glazed door is C20.
Adjoining to the left is a three-bay C20 extension in a similar style.
INTERIOR: not inspected: RCHM record Italian marble fireplace for the drawing room; black Kendal marble fireplace for the dining room.
