Description


TQ 2880 SW CITY OF WESTMINSTER SOUTH AUDLEY 79/25 STREET, Wl No. 12 G.V. II* Terraced town house. 1736-37, probably by William Singleton, plasterer whose decorative work survives in part within, alterations c.1769 and mid C.19. Stucco faced, slate roof. 4 storeys, basement and dormered mansard. Broad, slightly asymmetrical 3 window wide front (presumably with half windows to right originally). Square headed doorway to right with C.19 panelled door and plain fanlight in original banded rusticated surround with tripled keystone as are the ground floor windows, with half window to right. 1st and 2nd floors have architraved windows, the 1st floor French casements in eared architraves with triangular pediments flanking and segmental one to centre; plain attic sashes. Main dentil cornice over 2nd floor, attic cornice and blocking course. 1st floor stucco balustraded balcony on console brackets. Wrought iron area railings with urn finials. Of original interiors the noteworthy features are the 2 very fine luscious Rococo plaster work ceilings by Singleton in the 2 ground floor rooms; mid C,19 stone staircase. The 1st floor drawing room would appear to be of the 1770s, an alteration following the likely removal (following fire damage received from No. 11?) of the original front compartment staircase; cornices, doorcases etc. Survey of London; Vol. XL.
