HISTORY: This is the continuation of a once balanced terrace from York Street to Abbeygate Street, the bays of which were deployed two:seven:three:seven:two: the northern eleven most bays of which survive. The design for this is now difficult to appreciate due to alterations, and the redevelopment of Nos 12-15 at the south end. The widening of Stall Street was approved as a part of the Bath Improvement Act of 1789, with designs by Thomas Baldwin; and John Palmer, the City Architect is recorded in the Council Minutes (20th March 1797) as preparing plans for setting back the frontages in Stall Street, but the design for the present row, dated 1805 but unsigned, survives in the Bath Reference Library. York Street was formed in 1806, which also corresponds with the building of this terrace. Part of the Neoclassical remodelling of the City centre, but occupying a site with a much longer building history.
