Description
Marlborough House is a concert hall that has been converted into a shop. It was built in the early 19th century and remodeled in 1853 by A. H. Holme. The building has two storeys with an attic and features three bays on the Bold Street side and six bays facing Concert Street. The ground floor is rusticated and has large modern shop windows, along with an ornamented cornice and pilastered ends.
On the first floor, there are five windows set in moulded cases, topped with a common dentilled cornice and three curved pediments that have carved tympana. The top of the building is adorned with a richly carved frieze, a dentilled and modillioned cornice, and three sash windows in the attic above the cornice, which features an end scroll leading to a smaller ornamented cornice.
The Concert Street facade includes round arches on the ground floor with mask keystones, and the first floor has windows with a dentilled cornice and round pediments with carved tympana, along with flat balustrading below the sills. The main cornice, top cornice, and attic windows are consistent with the rest of the building. Square chimneys with carved cornices complete the design. The rear facade has a recessed ground floor behind a Tuscan colonnade.
