GV II

Terraced houses. Dated 1886 in roundels on alternate pairs between nos 17 and 47, and 1887 on nos 9-11. Red brick set in Flemish bond and terracotta, roofs variously of Welsh and artificial slate and tiles; a few houses painted all over. Three storeys over basement, two bays each. Except for no. 7, the houses are designed as pairs with linked porches and balconies, and a common central pedimented gable. Slightly projecting porch with brick pilasters supporting a four-centred arch of gauged brick with fluted keystone and terracotta frieze of palmette ornament over; floor of coloured geometrical encaustic tiles. Deeply recessed wooden doorcase with sidelights and overlight, glazed and panelled doors, the glazing filled with decorative leaded glass with painted roundels on nos 13, 21, 27-33, 37-39 and 45. Bay windows with five lights to ground and first floors, with chamfered and moulded mullions, segmental-arched heads of gauged brick with fluted keystones; the ground-floor in addition has a springing band of scrolling foliage and leaded toplights in some windows. A second band of scrolling foliage forms a sill band to the first floor; egg-and-dart cornice to gutters and hipped slate roof to the bay; central balcony between the bays with iron balcony, reached by a segmental-arched French window with gauged brick head and fluted keystone, altered to a window in many cases; the second floor has three segmental-arched windows, the inner windows to each house having an ogee-shaped brick apron eccentrically 'split' between the pairs; terracotta panels inscribed 'AD' and '1886' alternately; the inner windows grouped under a central pedimented gable, the outer windows to each house also paired under a smaller pedimented gable. Stacks to projecting party walls. No 7 is an unpaired house designed to the same pattern except that it has four paired segmental-arched windows to the second floor under a single broad pedimented gable. Original wrought-iron gates to basements on nos 17 and 21. INTERIOR: No 21 has an entrance and staircase hall floored with multi-coloured geometrical encaustic tiles, elaborate plaster cornice and consoles at division between entrance and staircase areas. Dog-leg stair with turned newel and acorn finial, open string, turned balusters and moulded rail through all floors. Ground-floor front room with elaborate plaster cornice and ceiling rose; ornate cast-iron fireplace influenced by the Aesthetic Movement with fluted pilasters and panels of female figures and foliage moulded in relief; transfer-printed tiles in the cheeks of the grate. Ground-floor back room with elaborate plaster cornice and ceiling rose possibly original in part; fireplace of marbled slate with gilded and incised geometrical ornament, and moulded multi-coloured tiles in the cheeks of the grate. First-floor front room has plaster cornice and ceiling rose. Other interiors not inspected. Nos 7-47 Baalbec Road are a well-preserved example of late-Victorian middle-class terraced housing, with street fronts rather more ornate and considered than usual.
