Attached house. 1748. Probably by Thomas Paty. Brick with
limestone dressings, brick gable and party wall stacks and a
pantile double-pile roof. Double-depth plan. Mid Georgian
style. 3 storeys, attic and basement; 3-window range.
Planned as a symmetrical side to No.4 (qv), with rusticated
pilaster strips to a moulded coping. Right-hand doorway has a
plain ashlar surround and cornice, and mid C19 two-panel door
with roundels and an integral rectangular overlight with
margin panes. Cambered heads with 5 stepped voussoirs to
6/6-pane sashes; 2 hipped dormers. Rear elevation has 2 hipped
dormers and semicircular-arched stair lights. INTERIOR not
inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached wrought-iron spear-headed
railings and gates, and capped piers to entrance steps.
A simpler design than No.4 (qv). Dowry Square was laid out by
Tully in 1720, and building continued until 1750. Each side
had a 5-window middle house and outer 3-window ones, of brick,
now altered and mostly rendered, to various designs.
