Formerly known as: Nos.1 AND 1A Delph House PROVIDENCE AVENUE
Woodhouse Carr.
House, now 2 houses. Mid C19 with later C19 alterations.
Coursed squared stone, slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays.
Central entrance: 6 stone steps, 6-panel door with fanlight in
stone surround of attached columns, brackets and
segmental-arched cornice. Flanking and 1st-floor windows all
have 4-pane sashes; 1st-floor sill band, rebuilt stack at left
end, forward of ridge.
INTERIOR: features reputed to include stone staircase part
cantilevered with curved soffits, wrought-iron patterned
balusters and spiral ended handrail in No.1A; several marble
fire surrounds in No.1; moulded cornices and door and windows
wood-work with Classical detail in both houses; large
stone-paved cellars whose inner ranges have brick
barrel-vaults on stone walls, possibly the remains of an
earlier building on the site.
The house was probably 'Delph House' shown on the 1850 OS map,
standing on the edge of the extensive Woodhouse Sandstone
quarries to N and E. The insertion of a fanlight over the door
and alterations to the surround, together with the replacement
of glazing bars in the windows probably dates from the
addition of the terraced row at the E end of the house.
(Ordnance Survey Map of Leeds: 1850-).
