G.V. II*
Terraced house. 1823-24 by Edward Cresy for himself, as part of Nash's Suffolk
Street-Suffolk Place development. Stucco, slate roof. Individual un-Nash-like
facade based on Palladio's house in Vicenza and no doubt both fruit and
advertisement of Cresy's Italian tour with Ledwell Taylor. 3 storeys, attic
storey and basement. Narrow tall 1 window front with blind flanking windows to
upper floors. Channelled ground floor slightly advanced with square headed
doorway to right and tripartite recessed sash window. Block cornice-plinth over
ground floor from which rises tall, archivolt arched window with looped fan
glazing to head, between engaged Ionic columns carrying breaks in modillion
corniced entablature; this acts in turn as sill band to 2nd floor architraved
and corniced window set between fluted Corinthian pilasters rising from the
entablature breaks below to carry the break in the 3rd floor entablature above
which is an architraved attic window; crowning modillion cornice and blocking
course. Royal Arms in stone over ground floor window. Cast iron spearhead area
railings. Part of an important survival of street architecture in Nash's Regent
Street manner.
