II*
Terrace of eight houses. Dated 1763. Probably by Thomas Paty. For John Webb. Brick with limestone dressings, party wall stacks and pantile double-pile roof. Double-depth plan. Mid Georgian style. Each of three storeys, attic and basement; five-window range, Nos 6 and 7 of three windows.
A partially composed terrace that steps irregularly down the hill, articulated by rusticated pilaster strips to a cornice broken over the pilasters, and parapet; No.5 has the middle three windows set forward under a pediment with rusticated quoins, and Webb's monogram with 1762 in the tympanum. Central doorways have console pediments over Gibbs surrounds with split keys and angled outer voussoirs, some with rectangular overlights with pointed-arched panes, and six-panel doors; No.5 has a raised lozenge to the lower part. Nos 6 and 7 have right-hand doorways and, with No.4, have console pediments and plain architraves. No.8 shares a five-window front with No.9, formerly entered from the right return. Five stepped voussoirs to 6/6-pane sashes, with thick bars to No.5, and cambered heads to the basement; hipped dormers.
INTERIOR: No.8, large entrance hall divided by an elliptical arch with fluted pilasters from a fine rear open-well stair with wide curtail, column-on-vase balusters three per tread, ramped, moulded rail and matching wainscot; modillion cornice, six-panel doors and panelled shutters. No.4 has an open dogleg stair with uncut string, column balusters and moulded rail.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: good attached wrought-iron railings with urn finials and capped piers, Nos 4-7 have scrolled panels to the middle and to the gates, and scrolled brackets beside the doorway to No.5.
'...Bristol's first full-blooded attempt at a terrace conceived as a palace facade...', (Gomme) although the north side of Dowry Square (1748) had an accentuated centrepiece. Built as lodging houses for visitors to the hot wells.
