Maclean House

Maclean House is a town house, now functioning as a hotel, located at the north-west corner of Stanley Place, with its entrance facing City Walls Road. It was built around 1780 and features Flemish bond brown brick with a grey slate roof.

The building has three storeys. The exterior includes stooled painted stone sills, slightly cambered painted gauged brick heads, and a painted stone cornice on both fronts. The side facing Stanley Place has two replaced recessed sashes per storey, with two panes in the first and second storeys and six panes in the third storey. The side facing City Walls Road has two repaired stone steps leading to replaced double doors, which are flanked by 3-pane batwing sidelights in a pedimented doorcase with fluted pilasters. The full-height pedimented entrance bay projects, matching that of No. 13 to the south on Stanley Place.

On the first storey, there is a replaced recessed sash of two panes on each side of the entrance and three 12-pane sashes further north. The second storey features a 12-pane sash above the door, replaced two-pane sashes on each side, and three 12-pane sashes further north. The third storey has six 6-pane sashes. The rear gable end includes a flush 12-pane sash on the second storey and a 6-pane sash on the third storey. The building retains its original rainwater head, upper pipe, and brackets.

There is a flat-roofed single-storey north wing that has two recessed 12-pane sashes and cast-iron key-pattern cresting on a plain stone coping. Inside, most features have been removed or covered, but there is an open-well stair with six flights, featuring an open string with shaped brackets, diminishing newels, two stick balusters per step, and a swept handrail that terminates in a wreath.
