II

Terraced cottage. c1818. Stucco over brick with low-pitched
slate roof.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 2 first-floor windows. 2/2 sashes.
Central half-glazed door with bracketed wooden gabled head
which has fretted barge-board.
INTERIOR: the importance of this house lies in its
contemporary wall paintings: on the ground floor in the front
room over the fireplace a version of the Montpellier Rotunda
dated 1822 with a Pantheon-type dome close to the one as
executed; in the alcove by the chimney breast is an
unidentified villa with a thermal lunette in the pedimented
central gable. These murals are a surprising survival and
quite important in showing a variant design for the
Montpellier Spa.
