GV II

2 houses. Mid C19. Stucco, once scored to imitate ashlaring. Roof obscured by eaves and parapet. The pair has a U-shaped plan with the mouth facing the street, and, taken together, a symmetrical elevation. The style is Italianate. EXTERIOR: each has entrance set in recess of a 2-window range and having 2 storeys. To side, at the corner, a one-window wide "tower" range of 3 storeys. All openings are flat-arched, unless otherwise stated. Up stairs to broad entrance porch common to both units. Entrances with overlights set at joins with higher ranges; between is a pair of windows with flush surrounds. The ground-floor windows in the projecting end ranges are tripartite with architraves. Storey band between basement and ground floors, and between ground and 1st floors. All 1st-floor windows have a shallow surround and an entablature with a frieze of plain medallions. In the wings, this entablature forms spandrels for the 2nd-floor windows which have flush surrounds. Entablature over 1st-floor windows of recessed section. The high towers have shallow-pitched, gable-facing roofs with projecting eaves on all sides, a feature which, more than any other, gives the pair the feel of buildings in the Italian Campagna. Stacks to returns and party wall. Sashes of original design: to the side of each entrance, 6x6; all upper-floor windows 6x6 rebuilt to an original design; some original glazing bars on the returns; overlight with decorative glazing to each entrance. The 2-storey gable-facing structure to the left of No.187, which dates to the mid to late C19 and has tripartite 1st-floor windows, is included. INTERIOR: not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: cast-iron railings to areas and stairs, the latter being unusually elaborate. Nos 191 & 193 (qv) are of identical design and form a group.
