Terraced houses. Built over several years from 1849. By Amon
Henry Wilds. These houses form the curved, 3-storey range in
Park Crescent; Nos 24 and 26 date from 1983 and were built in
place of Nos 24, 25 and 26 which were destroyed by bombing in
1942; they follow the design of the terrace in their details
and are included in the listing for group value. Stucco, roofs
of slate.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys over basement, 3 windows each. The
standard design is: an entrance bay set slightly back with
that of the adjacent house; flat-arched entrance with moulded
architrave, moulded cornice, overlight and panelled door of
original design; quoins between entrance bay and the rest; all
windows flat-arched, with moulded architraves and the middle
window on the first floor blank; sashes generally of original
design, 4/4 on the ground and first floors, 2/2 on the second
floor; console brackets to eaves with frieze of wreaths
between; deep eaves; ridge and front stacks. Cast-iron
railings to area with spearhead finials. The garden front
consists of a main block of 3 storeys whose cornice and eaves
break into a 3-storey 'tower' like that on Nos 1-16 and 33-48
(qv), having bracketed eaves, wreathed cornice and pedimented
gables.
Features of note on individual houses are: Nos 17-18, 20, 23,
27-28 and 32 do not have blocked central windows on the first
floor; No.19 has central window on second floor partially
blocked; No.21 has upper panels to door glazed; No.22 has an
oval window inserted in central first-floor window; No.29
