Terraced house, now part of Queen's Hotel (not included).
c1825. Designed by Amon Henry Wilds. Stucco. Roof obscured by
parapet.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and attic over basement with dormers
above. 3 window-range.
Ground floor rendered as banded, chamfered rustication
becoming voussoirs and keystones to 3 segmental-arched
openings. The side openings are filled with segmental-arched
windows, a sill band to each. Basement windows below these are
also segmental arched. The centre opening leads into a shallow
porch, trapezoidal in plan, the returns panelled.
The entrance is flat arched and has an overlight.
There is a plain entablature band to the ground floor.
4 giant, fluted pilasters to first and second floors. The
design of the capitals is a hybrid design, where the volutes
of a Composite capital are replaced by Ammonite Shells, a
reference to the architect's surname. There is an entablature
with dentil cornice above the giant portico. The upper fascia
of this entablature is level with the sills of attic windows.
Applied to the attic storey are 4 plain pilasters aligned with
those below and supporting an entablature above.
The parapet topping the composition has 4 moulded piers,
continuing the axes of the pilasters below.
All upper-floor windows are flat arched with architraves,
those to first and second floors with moulded, projecting
sills. The first-floor windows have, in addition, a raised
panel in the spandrel below each sill; above each lintel is an
entablature with a boldly projecting cornice. The centre
first-floor window has a deep pediment. The centre window on
the second and attic floors is blocked.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
