Description
These are a pair of houses located at 24 and 26 Devonshire Road in Birkenhead, built around 1845 by Charles Reed. The houses are made of stucco over brick and feature a Welsh slate roof. They are symmetrically designed with outer gabled wings and stand two storeys tall. Each house has a two-room double-depth layout with a central entrance and an outer advanced gabled bay. The round-arched doorway is set in a projecting pedimented weather hood supported by brackets. There are French windows next to the doorway, along with round-arched upper windows. The outer gabled bay includes a canted bay window on the ground floor and a round-arched upper window. All windows are 2-light casements with margin lights. An ogee lattice work verandah remains on the right-hand house only. The houses have axial and end wall stacks. They are part of the original development in Claughton, designed by Reed for Sir William Jackson in the early 1840s, as shown on a map of Claughton from 1848.
