Description
Number 50 Row is a shop and offices located in Chester City, previously known as No.52 Row Eastgate Street. It was rebuilt between 1963 and 1965, featuring a replica facade of an early 18th-century building, but only facing Eastgate Street. The structure is made of brown brick in English garden wall bond and has a grey slate roof that is positioned at a right angle to the front. It has four storeys with a single bay, and the Row walk slopes down to street level at the east side of the building.
The base of the building features cream stone plinths that support end piers with Roman Doric responds, along with two intermediate columns. Above the Row opening, there is a plain stone-faced frieze and band. The upper storeys have rusticated quoins, and the windows are nearly flush 12-pane horned sashes with very small sills and gauged brick flat arches—three on the second storey and one each on the third and fourth storeys. There are moulded string courses at the third and fourth storey floors, and the building is topped with a shaped gable that has moulded stone coping and a pineapple finial. The interior was completely rebuilt during the 1963-1965 renovation by Sir Percy Thomas and Son as part of the Grosvenor-Laing precinct.
