15, 17, 19 AND 21, ALBERT ROAD

This is a terrace of four executive houses, completed by 1868 as part of the Saltaire model village for Titus Salt, and designed by Lockwood and Mawson. The houses are built of hammer-dressed stone with a Welsh slate roof. They are two storeys in height, arranged symmetrically, with each house originally having two bays. A single doorcase with pilaster jambs, a central engaged colonnette, frieze and cornice serves as the entrance for the two central houses. The entrances to the end houses are set back one bay to the left and right. The second bay of each end house projects slightly, is gabled, and features a two-light Venetian Gothic window on the first floor, incorporating a central colonnette, a blind circle in the tympanum, and alternately coloured voussoirs. The ground floor windows are two-light, though the mullion has been removed from No. 21; the remaining first-floor windows are single-light and sit on a sill band. Stone stacks are present on the front and rear roof pitches, and the roof is hipped.
