Numbers 11 And 12 And Attached Railings

Numbers 11 and 12 are two houses that have been converted into offices, located on the north side of Park Place in Leeds. They were likely built between 1785 and 1794 by architect William Hargrave and have undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with stone details and feature a slate roof. They are three stories tall and consist of five bays.

The central entrance for No. 11 has a panelled door with a fanlight, set within a stone surround that includes three-quarter Tuscan columns supporting an entablature, a dentilled cornice, and a pediment. To the far left, No. 12 has an added stone porch with Ionic columns in antis and a shallow moulded pediment. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, and they have been restored. The arches above the windows are slightly cambered, with stone sills and a continuous sill band at the first floor level. The buildings feature a modillion eaves cornice and have ridge stacks located at the center and right, positioned forward of the ridge.

The area railings include decorative bud finials on the bars and standards. William Hargrave constructed at least 14 houses in Park Place on land leased from the Wilson estate, which were rented to wealthy merchants moving away from the crowded town center.
