House at end of terrace. 1823. By Morris Clarke and George Cox
(RCHME). Rendered, slate roof.
PLAN: formerly 2 houses, returns at the S end of the range, to
face Victoria Terrace, Esplanade (qv).
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, attic and basement, it has 4 flat-roofed
4-pane sash dormers to the curved mansard roof above canted
plain sash oriels alternating with blind lights; the oriels
are flat roofed, with cornice bands at each level, in
2:3:1:3:2 storeys.
The 2-storey units, at either end of the facade, are above a
glazed door in deep reveals and on 4 stone steps (to the W),
and an original panelled, part-glazed door on 8 steps (to the
E).
The 1-storey bay faces down the Esplanade, under a blind
light, and above 2 blocked arched doorways on a ramp forming a
roof to basement doorways below, and the 3-storey oriels are
above 2-light casements, and steps to the basement area.
Plat band at each floor, slight moulded cornice, blocking and
parapet coping, and 2 large square brick stacks, each with 8

by original spearhead railings, with gates to steps.
This house, which forms the southern termination to Brunswick
Terrace, holds an important position facing down the
Esplanade, and corresponds with the rather more grand Statue
House (qv) at the S end of the sea front.
