Howick House Howick Street Garage

Howick House and Howick Street Garage, located on Howick Street, are part of the Howick Street development that began after 1831. The building is two storeys high with a total of five windows. The garage, which was originally a coach works, features a gabled second floor that was added later. The structure is built of ashlar, with Howick House painted and featuring a first-floor cill band and a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is partly slate and partly asbestos, while Howick House has four plastic vases and cross-ridged features on the eaves. There is one shared brick chimney and one stone chimney. The windows are glazing bar sash windows, with Howick House having louvred shutters on the first floor. The entrance to Howick House includes a round-headed doorway with boldly rusticated quoins and a diamond-panelled door. The garage has a large depressed arch to the right. To the left, there is a second floor, which is a late 19th-century addition featuring a heavy gable with scrolls at the raised pediment apex and a two-light round-headed central window with a moulded hood. The three-storey property extends back to Gill's Lane and includes interior panelled dados that were taken from the SS Olympic, similar to those in the White Swan on Bondgate Within. The south wall on the first floor is partly timber framed (recent) with brick infill.
