Gothick traceried rails. Bow window to ground floor and basement with
2 sashes on ground floor with hood boxes, and glazing bar sash to left

stairs. Panelled door to right on ground floor with semi-circular
fanlight in moulded surround, with additional brackets to balcony, with

originally laid out after 1802 as part of James Townley's redevelopment
of the old Cavalry Barracks site (see Spencer Square), and largely
completed by 1816. Nos. 4 to 11 inclusive indicate the original character
of the terrace, subsequently much altered. (See C. Busson, Book of
