and attached railings

II

Terraced houses, now flats and shops. Early C19. Stucco. Roof
of No.107 of tile, the rest obscured by blocking course.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and attic over basement. One window each;
left return to No.107 has a 2-window range and right return of
No.111, which contains entrance to No.111A, also of 2-window
range. Entrance to No.107 is flat arched of C20; entrance to
No.111 and 111A is round arched with fanlight. Remnants of
shop fronts of late C19 or early C20 date; these have been
replaced by late C20 shop fronts of no distinction. Segmental
bay to first floor of each unit has triple, flat-arched
windows, with cornice and semi-domed metal roof. The window
surrounds of this bay are pilasters ornamented with fretwork
suggesting chinoiserie patterns common in late Georgian and
Regency period furniture; the same treatment is extended to
lintels. Bay windows have 4 x 6 sashes of original design; 2
first floor windows to each unit, each window with 6 x 6
sashes of original design, except for No.111; all attic
windows have 3 x 3 sashes of original design. Projecting
cornice between the second floor and attic is continuous
across the terrace; simple cornice band to attic. There are
first-floor balconies with cast-iron railings to Nos 109, 110
and 111. Entrances on returns or through shop fronts to all
except No.109 which has an entrance on St James's Street: flat
arched with overlight of decorative glazing, lintel of door
ornamented with frieze of key pattern. To party walls of Nos
107 and 108 as well as Nos 108 and 109 is a giant pilaster
strip to first and second floors; this pilaster is articulated
by shallow, incised band which terminates in a fretwork
capital; there is a half pilaster of this description at the
end wall of No.107 and at the right party wall of No.109.
Above the latter, in the attic, storey are the remnants of an
attic pilaster. It appears that originally this pilaster was
used across the block and through attic storeys. The return of
No.111 has 2 canted bays rising from the first to top storeys.
Stacks to party walls.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
