36, Mellalieu Street

No. 36 Mellalieu Street is a house built in 1906 by architects E. Wood and J. H. Sellers. Constructed of brick with a flat concrete roof, the building features three bays and two storeys, along with a later flat-roofed addition at the rear and a garage to the left. The central entrance door, which has glazed upper panels, is set within a brick recess and topped by a leaded fanlight with a dentilled transom. The first bay includes a two-storey canted bay window. The windows throughout the house have timber mullions and leaded lights, with some featuring transoms on the ground floor. These windows, which consist of two, three, or four lights, are set on stone sills. The stone-coped parapet is decorated with diamond motifs in raised brickwork and is elevated at each corner. There is also an arched window on the left return and timber-mullioned windows at the rear. A chimney stack is located to the left. This house is significant as it was the first designed by Wood to incorporate a reinforced concrete flat roof, showcasing a blend of new materials with traditional elements in its design. It is illustrated in J. H. G. Archer's work on Edgar Wood.
