SX4854SW LOOE STREET, Barbican 740-1/62/23 (South side (off)) Virginia House Settlement

GV II

Warehouses and former chapel. C18 and C19. Plymouth limestone rubble, most with brick jambs and arches; dry slate and asbestos slate roofs, most with gable ends; many cast-iron ogee gutters. Large irregular corner-site plan almost enclosing a small courtyard, the late C19 chapel was converted from an C18 warehouse and a chapel front was added. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 3 storeys. The taller corner block is a 6:1:3:2-window range, the single window over a blind window and doorway to the canted corner, and the right-hand part stepped down to 2 storeys; segmental arches and many original sashes with glazing bars. Set back on right is the 3-bay chapel front under 2 steep crow-stepped gables of the old warehouse with moulded entablature below. There are 3 pairs of keyed round-arched window openings with C20 windows. 3-bay entrance built forward to ground floor has projecting narrow central entrance bay with gable on gable with traceried oculus. Beneath this is a doorway with a shouldered head plus similar openings set back at left and right with moulded cornice above. INTERIOR: not inspected. A curious example of an evolved group, part becoming a chapel and later reverting to commercial use. Included for historical and group value.
