Terraced house. Early C19, heightened in late C19 or early
C20. Stucco, cobbles, cobbles coated in pitch, and brick.
EXTERIOR: 4 storeys over half basement. One-window range.
Stucco to basement scored to resemble ashlaring. Cobbles in
pitch above. From ground to second floor rises a segmental bay
with flat-arched, tripartite windows. Sashes of original
design. This bay terminates in a wood cornice. First-floor
balcony with cast-iron brackets and C20 railings. Painted
bricks used as dressing and corner quoins; a brick storey band
between the second and third floor separates the early C19
structure from the third floor added in the late C19. The
materials used in the lower floors are repeated in the added
storey but are unpainted. This storey has a flat-arched
tripartite window, with red brick surrounds and corner quoins.
The top of the bay below serves to form a balcony for this
window and is enclosed by cast-iron railings. A brick cornice
supports projecting eaves with blocking course. Large console
brackets with guttae terminate the cornice on lines with the
party walls below. The round-arched entry with fanlight is in
the right return and set under a prostyle porch consisting of
Tuscan columns and entablature blocks, which support a gabled
roof formed from raking cornices only. Stacks to party wall.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Railings to area. No.15, Nos 17-18 and Nos 20-26 (qv) Upper
