association with Finchett, Lancaster & Archer of London);
altered. Portland stone (to principal elevations).
STYLE: Classical Revival.
PLAN: rectangular plan on corner site.
EXTERIOR: Two-and-a-half unequal storeys plus attic, a
symmetrical 3-bay pedimented facade to Lord Street and a 4-bay
return to Nevill Street. Tall ground floor with rusticated
masonry and a dentilled cornice, the two upper floors treated
architecturally as one with a tetrastyle giant order of fluted
Roman Doric columns and full entablature with triglyphs and
mutuled pediment containing an oculus.
The ground floor has a square-headed doorway in the centre
with an elaborately enriched pedimented architrave, set in a
tall round-headed arch with rusticated voussoirs and a
cartouche on the keystone from which hang swags carved in
Grinling Gibbons style. This is flanked by windows (enlarged
in late C20) set in similar but elliptical-headed arches, each
with an elaborate carving in the tympanum, and over it a small
square opening punched through between the keystone and the
cornice above. The first floor has tall cross-windows with
small balustraded balconies and cornices on consoles (that in
the centre with a segmental pediment), the second floor has
square 2-light windows, all these windows with small panes and
moulded architraves and those at second floor with lion-mask
keystones in the soffit of the entablature.
Return side in matching style, but with urns on the cornice
between the windows of a flat-topped attic storey (and a
doorway inserted at ground floor of the fourth bay).
