History

Early to mid C19 end-terrace house with late Regency type classical detail. Some detail has been removed, the end wall to Mariners Square had slightly neo-Grec acroterial ornament at the corners of the gable and there was a first floor canted oriel. The front wall to Tower Hill had in 1974 a second door in right bay. Occupied by J.W. Phillips, solicitor to the Perrot's and Tasker's trustees, and by Mrs Annie Maria Rogers, china and glass dealer, in 1926.
