35 AND 37, MANOR ROW BD1

Nos 35 and 37 on Manor Row, built around 1820, are a pair of townhouses that represent a rare symmetrical design from this period in Bradford. The buildings are two storeys high with dressed sandstone elevations similar to those of Nos 31 and 33. They feature two bay wings flanking a four-bay central section that has a slight break and a rather steep pediment. Architectural details include a plinth, a plat band, and an eaves band. The hipped roof of No 35 is covered with stone slates, while No 37 has concrete tiles. Both houses have corniced chimneys and shallow revealed sash windows without glazing bars. The ground floor features tripartite windows in the center and at No 35, each topped with wooden entablatures. The entrances are located in the wings, with doors consisting of four fielded panels and two flush panels, along with three-pane rectangular fanlights. Stone cornice-hoods are supported by shaped slab brackets, and there are flights of three steps leading up to both doorways from the forecourt. It is likely that Nos 35 and 37 were intended to be the centerpiece of a small crescent of detached houses, which was never completed.
