periods, with later alterations. Flemish bond brickwork, the
earliest part with V-jointed quoins, partly painted. Graduated
greenslate roof; original ridge brick chimney stacks. Built in
two phases; 6 houses and 3 houses divided by quoins.
3 storeys, 2 bays each, except those over through archways
which are of 3 bays, all forming one continuous crescent.
First phase has central archway in quoined surround. Ground
floor is now all C20 shop fronts. Sash windows above in
painted stone surrounds and smaller attic windows. Second
phase has been made to look identical, but without quoins and
has a right archway with brick reveals.

HISTORY: A tour of the city c1820 mentions the houses in the
Crescent. John Woods' Map of Carlisle 1821 shows the first
phase complete; newspaper references suggest that the second
phase could have been under construction in 1824. An 1870s
photograph shows the second phase as only 2 storeys; by 1899
these had been raised to 3 storeys. Perriam (1988) shows a
photograph of 1899 showing these buildings when they were
private houses.
