Bowes House Cottages

Bowes House Cottages is a terrace of three cottages built around 1875. The cottages are made of polychrome brick, featuring a buff color with light-red banding and decorative diaperwork, and they have a banded green and purple slate roof. The design is a shallow H-plan, arranged as a single symmetrical composition.

The cottages are two stories high with a five-bay front, flanked by slightly projecting gabled cross-wings that also rise two stories with attics. The openings are set under segmental heads. There are three boarded doors on the recessed front, accompanied by 6-pane side lights and open wood porches with pent roofs. The windows maintain their original glazing, consisting of 4- and 6-pane side-hung casements, some featuring 2- and 4-pane top lights. The central doorway is flanked by three-light windows, with gabled 2-light half-dormers above. Small 2-light windows are positioned above the porches. Each cross-wing includes a three-light window on the ground floor, a two-light window above, and a small single-pane window in the attic. The steeply-pitched roof has overhanging eaves and verges with plain bargeboards. There are four ridge chimneys, each with triple conjoined stacks and dentilled projecting tops, accented with stone bands.
