CHESTER CITY (IM) EASTGATE STREET AND ROW (South side) No.14 Street and No.14 Row

GV II

14 Eastgate Street and 14 Eastgate Row South was built in the late C19 in Vernacular Revival style, on the site of an earlier townhouse, with an undercroft shop and Row shop with accommodation or storage above. In the early C20 the undercroft shop was in use as an ironmongers and the Row shop was a tailors. In 2022 there were separate retail shops to the undercroft and Row level, with the Row shop extending into the floors above. The building is timber-framed with plaster panels and has a grey-slate roof at right angles to the front elevation.

The building is of three storeys expressed as four storeys, including an undercroft and Row, plus attics. The undercroft is at street level and has a modern shopfront with stone end-piers that have been plastered and painted.

The Row level has a rail to the front opening with timber posts and turned balusters, a covered sloping stallboard measuring 1.8m from front to back, and a tiled Row walkway. The shopfront is of the late C20 and there is a plaster ceiling to the stallboard and Row.

The third storey has two canted oriel windows carried on timber-framed coving. These have five mullioned and transomed leaded lights; the side-lights being concave. There are four panels of close-studding between the oriels, which have a mid-rail at head level, and 20 shaped panels above. These are beneath two short fourth-storey oriel windows with two leaded lights in between.

The attics have a jettied front gable, carried on three shaped brackets, with a row of 10 quatrefoil panels, a pair of two-light leaded casement windows, herringbone struts, moulded bargeboards, and a curtailed drop finial.

INTERIOR: the undercroft shop is three steps down and is lined. The Row level and third storey are now one shop, much altered, probably superficially, but they retain the form of an open-gallery hall with a two-storey pediment-on-pilasters feature against the west wall. The fourth and attic storeys have door architraves, some mouldings, and rear sash windows.
