1-15 Queens's Terrace, Queen's Square

This is a terrace of eight houses built around 1850 for Middlesbrough’s early wealthy residents. The houses are now used as offices. Numbers 1 to 11 are constructed from mottled brown brick, while numbers 13 and 15 are red brick. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate.

The terrace faces east onto Queen’s Square and is truncated at its southern end. A small forecourt is contained by a low wall with modern railings. Originally, each house had a projecting rear extension, though most have been removed.

Numbers 1 to 11 are two bays wide, built in English garden wall bond, with painted rusticated quoins on the right end. Numbers 1 and 3 share a central doorway with a late 20th-century imitation stone surround resembling a quasi-Composite open pediment. Numbers 5 to 11 have doorways on the left, each with a wooden Roman Doric doorcase. A renewed Roman Doric porch is present at number 11. All the doorways have panelled doors under renewed overlights at numbers 1, 5 and 11; the doorway at number 9 now contains a window. These houses feature two-storey canted bay windows with wood pilaster mullions, entablatures and panelled first-floor aprons. The first bay of number 5 has a central casement window. There are two sash windows on the second floor of each house, with painted sills and wedge lintels. A bracketed wood eaves fascia runs along the top, and the roof is hipped at the right end (number 1). A corniced stack is located between numbers 3 and 5, with partially rebuilt stacks at numbers 1 and 7 to 15.

Numbers 13 and 15, also two bays wide and built in red brick in Flemish bond, are largely similar to the other houses but number 13 is slightly recessed and framed by the rusticated quoins of numbers 11 and 15. Windows now occupy the positions of the original doorways. The canted bays also include basement windows.

The north gable end is two bays deep, with blocked ground-floor windows and sashes with glazing bars on the first and second floors. Modern metal grilles are attached to the first-floor windows. The rear elevation has been altered but retains three tall, round-headed sashed windows with glazing bars. Numbers 11 and 13 still have rear extensions.
