Nos 365-371 Holderness Road

Terrace of four houses built in 1888 to designs by William Alfred Gelder. Built of orange brick with slate roofs.

The terrace is symmetrical, comprising two slightly-projecting gabled end houses (Nos 365 and 371) flanking two inner houses, all of two storeys with an attic. Each house has paired two-storey rear wings. The ground floor of each house contains a narrow entrance and stair hall with two main reception rooms, whilst the wing accommodates a kitchen, larder and washhouse. Nos 365 and 367 retain a paired single-storey outshot originally containing coal stores and water closets.

The brick is laid in English bond. The end houses feature tall brick eaves stacks on their side elevations; the inner houses share a central brick ridge stack. The front elevations of the end houses have square ground-floor bays with pitched slate roofs, above which sit narrower first-floor canted bay windows, also with pitched slate roofs. The gables contain vertical segmental-arched windows lighting the attic spaces. The window frames for No 371 are replacement like-for-like timber hung sashes with single-pane lower glazing and multi-pane upper glazing; No 365 follows the same appearance but has uPVC frames. Both gables feature timber bargeboards with trefoil cut-outs, and the apexes display mock half-timbering.

The doors are set to the inside of the gabled bays and are paired with the doors to the two inner houses, each pair sharing an open timber porch with pitched slate roof. The porch for Nos 369 and 371 is the most intact, with turned timber posts raised on low brick walls supporting a decorative timber lintel with trefoil cut-outs over the doorways and recessed trefoils. The porch for Nos 365-367 is less complete; the left-hand turned post at No 365 is due to be replaced, whilst No 367 has lost both turned posts and the decorative timber lintel. The doors have a lower timber panel and two vertical upper lights with rectangular overlights; No 371's overlight contains recently commissioned stained glass (2015). The two inner houses have ground-floor canted bay windows with pitched slate roofs to the inside of the doorways, each with a segmental-arched first-floor window above. All houses have a narrow first-floor window over the doorway. The inner houses have flat-roofed dormer windows. All windows in Nos 367 and 369 have uPVC frames.

The return side elevations of Nos 365 and 371 feature a gablet to the rear of the slightly-projecting eaves chimney stack. On the ground floor is a canted bay window with pitched slate roof; above on the first floor is a vertical segmental-arched window with a smaller window with shaped head in the gablet. No 365 has uPVC frames; No 371 has like-for-like timber replacements. The gablets have timber bargeboards with trefoil cut-outs. The recessed two-storey rear wings have tall brick ridge stacks and irregular fenestration. No 365 has a single-storey flat-roofed outshot abutting the left-hand corner of the main house, and shares a single-storey outshot with pitched slate roof to the rear of the wing.

No 365 is retained as a single dwelling; Nos 366, 367, 368 and 369 have been converted to flats. The entrance and stair halls of Nos 365 and 371 retain moulded cornices and shallow moulded archways with decorative console brackets. Both houses retain original staircases with heavy turned and fluted timber newel posts on the ground floor, open-string steps with carved console-like brackets to the treads, turned timber balusters with swept moulded handrails to turned first-floor newels, and simpler handrails rising to the attics. Nos 371 and 367 have decorative encaustic tiles to the entrance halls. No 365 retains the majority of its original four-panelled doors and moulded architraves.

No 365 bears a blue plaque fixed to the front elevation by Hull Civic Society commemorating Alfred Gelder. No 371 bears a similar blue plaque commemorating J Arthur Rank.
