SE2935 PROVIDENCE AVENUE, Woodhouse Carr 714-1/24/1267 (North side) 23/05/78 Nos.1 AND 1A

II

Formerly known as: Nos.1 AND 1A Delph House PROVIDENCE AVENUE Woodhouse Carr. House, now 2 houses. Mid C19 with later C19 alterations. Coursed squared stone, slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. Central entrance: 6 stone steps, 6-panel door with fanlight in stone surround of attached columns, brackets and segmental-arched cornice. Flanking and 1st-floor windows all have 4-pane sashes; 1st-floor sill band, rebuilt stack at left end, forward of ridge. INTERIOR: features reputed to include stone staircase part cantilevered with curved soffits, wrought-iron patterned balusters and spiral ended handrail in No.1A; several marble fire surrounds in No.1; moulded cornices and door and windows wood-work with Classical detail in both houses; large stone-paved cellars whose inner ranges have brick barrel-vaults on stone walls, possibly the remains of an earlier building on the site. The house was probably 'Delph House' shown on the 1850 OS map, standing on the edge of the extensive Woodhouse Sandstone quarries to N and E. The insertion of a fanlight over the door and alterations to the surround, together with the replacement of glazing bars in the windows probably dates from the addition of the terraced row at the E end of the house. (Ordnance Survey Map of Leeds: 1850-).
