Description



LANCASTER

SD4761NE WATER STREET
1685-1/7/313 (West side)
22/12/53 No.1

GV II

House, now flats. Late C18, restored and converted c1985.
Sandstone ashlar with slate hipped roof. 2 chimneys on ridge.
A symmetrical composition of 3 storeys above cellars and 5
bays, with sill bands and with a moulded cornice. The windows
are glazing bar sashes with plain reveals; those in the
central bay are tripartite with flat-faced stone mullions. The
doorway is treated like a Venetian window, with Tuscan
pilasters rising from a sill band; the outer pair carry an
open pediment, and the inner pair separate the doorway from
the flanking lights and carry the architrave of the
round-headed fanlight with Gothick glazing which rises into
the pediment. The door, of raised and fielded panels, is
recessed and has panelled reveals. The 5 external steps have
nosings and have railings which are curved on plan.
The left-hand return facade, facing Cable Street, is of 3 bays
and has similar glazing bar sashes with plain reveals. At the
left is a chimney.
HISTORY: the building is shown (somewhat inaccurately) near
the centre of an engraving of Lancaster from Green Ayre, after
JC Ibbotson, made in 1807.
(White, Andrew: Lancaster: A Pictorial History: Chichester:
1990-: FIG 19).
