Terraced house. Early C19, remodelled in mid to late C19; the
ground floor dates to 1901, when the structure was extended to
the rear and partly combined with No.14 Grafton Street (qv).
Stucco and brown brick with stucco dressings. Roof of slate.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and attic over basement. One window-range.
Stairs up to a flat-arched entrance with overlight, framed by
Tuscan pilasters supporting a stilted, camber arch, topped by
an entablature. The ground floor is of stucco rendered as
rustication alternating between plain and vermiculated bands.
The entrance is set into the right facet of a 3-storey canted
bay which dominates the rest of the elevation, all bay windows
tripartite and flat arched. To the left of the bay on the
ground floor is an elliptical window. Thick, stucco brackets
on the bay support a first-floor balcony with cast-iron
railings. The first floor of the bay has Tuscan pilasters,
responds and an entablature; the second floor of the bay has
attached columns of the Composite order, responds and
entablature. The lines of these entablatures are continued
across the wall planes as storey bands, terminating in corner
quoins. Surface of bay faced in stucco and the wall surfaces
of the first, second and attic floors are of brown brick.
Above the bay, in the attic storey, are 3 round-arched windows
with architraves and keystones. Attic storey has an
entablature and modillioned cornice topped by a blocking
course. Stack to party walls.
INTERIOR: at the rear of the block on the first floor, there
is a 3-storeyed, galleried hall which is top lit. The hall has
an arcaded gallery across its second level on the west and
south sides, with a stair wrapping up the east and north
walls; the stair has a plain rail and newels; the balusters
are turned. Deep, moulded band below a coved cornice topped by
the light register, which is lit by round-arched windows.
There are Tuscan pilasters between each window. At the time of
survey (April, 1992), the roof hall was undergoing extensive
repair due to water damage. Steel joists had replaced rotten
wood beams. The cornice work and wall plaster had been removed
from the north wall and part of the west. The first-floor,
front parlour retains original plaster mouldings and stone
mantel.
Railings to stairs and area.
The building is reputed to have been the property of the Duke
of Clarence.
