GV II
House, now offices. Late C18. Red brick in Flemish bond and
gauged brick lintels and stone dressings; stucco cement to
porch. Roof obscured by parapet.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys over basement. 5-window range. Flat-arched
entrance with overlight set in centre range. Reached up steps
the entrance is under a Doric prostyle porch with pilaster
responds, entablature and blocking course; the jambs of the
door case are panelled and there is a 6-panelled door of
original design. The basement storey is stucco treated as
rustication. The window range above the entrance is narrower
the 2 ranges to either side emphasizing the bilateral symmetry
of the elevation. All windows are flat arched with projecting
sills and keyed lintels of stone; the ground-floor windows
have, in addition, cast-iron flower guards. At the corners are
stone quoin strips, that on the left is partially obscured by
the range of late C19 shop fronts. The second-floor windows
are not as tall as those below and suggest the proportions of
an attic storey. Above is a stone entablature with projecting
cornice and parapet. All the windows have sashes of original
design: in centre-range 6/6 and 3/3 to first and second floors
respectively; to the ground and first floor of the remaining
ranges the pattern is 8/8; to the second floor of the
remaining ranges the pattern is 4/4. Stacks to party wall.
INTERIOR: inside, the entrance hall has a very fine
elliptical, diaphragm arch with keystone and panelled soffit
all supported by a pair of panelled Tuscan pilasters. This
arch leads to a dogleg stair, the rear wall of which is
semicircular in plan for its full height. The handrail is
wreathed above the bottom curtail step. There are brackets
below each stair and on all vertical fascias to the landings;
there is also a wall string and dado. The stairwell is lit by
an elliptical light set in a coved ceiling. Many original
doorcases remain in the rear section of the building on all
floors. In the restoration carried out since 1970 the C20 shop
front which marred the left-hand side of the ground floor was
removed; the removal of the shop required the insertion of new
bricks which are easily distinguished.
