Description
No. 1 Great John Street, which includes No. 2 Moor Lane, is a house that has been converted into a club. It was built around 1800 and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries, possibly designed by Thomas Harrison. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with a coped gable. It has a rectangular double-fronted plan situated on a shallow site at the corner of Moor Lane, showcasing a broad pedimented facade with a central entrance and a gable chimney stack.
The structure consists of three storeys above a basement, which is expressed as a plinth, and includes an attic within the pediment. The facade has three wide bays with sill bands on the first and second floors. A raised entrance is accessed by a large double-sided flight of steps, which are protected by railings featuring urn finials on the standards and decorative wrought-iron scrollwork in the centre panels. The doorway and its narrow side windows have 2-centred arched heads, all set within a semi-elliptical arch framed by an open pediment supported by fluted consoles above pilasters.
The ground floor is adorned with Venetian windows that have a moulded architrave and a keystone, while the upper floors feature windows with plain reveals. The windows in the pediment include a low round-headed window flanked by two lunettes. The left-hand return wall to Moor Lane has an eaves cornice that extends from the pediment and windows with plain reveals. The ground and first-floor windows are sashed without glazing bars, while the second-floor windows have modern joinery. Blocked cellar openings are located below the ground-floor windows. The building continues to the left under a continuous roof line as No. 2 Moor Lane, which has a shop front dating from around 1900, featuring a timber fascia and steps within a recessed entrance. The upper wall is framed, with central display windows on the first and second floors.
