19, Springfield Mount

19 Springfield Mount is a pair of houses that now serve as Health Authority premises, built between 1837 and 1839 with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features red brick and stucco with a low-pitched hipped slate roof. It has two storeys above an almost full-height basement, with three bays on each facade displaying a 1:2:1 window arrangement. The central bay projects slightly and is flanked by wide pilasters decorated with a square incised pattern. There is a restored flight of steps leading to a half-glazed door with an overlight, set in a moulded brick surround where the keystone breaks the first-floor sill band. The windows have plate-glass sashes, wedge lintels, shallow aprons, and a continuous sill band at the ground and first floors. The building has an eaves band and four ridge stacks.

At the rear, steps lead up to a glazed door framed by console brackets and a triangular pediment, with pilasters similar to those at the front. The left return features slightly projecting outer bays flanked by incised pilasters, while the right return has steps leading up to paired doors with overlights. Inside, each entrance opens into a narrow hall that leads to a stairwell against the party wall, which has been broken through. The interior includes six-panel doors and moulded ceiling cornices. The staircases are identical, with the first flight featuring reeded balusters and a ramped handrail, though the upper floors and rooms were not seen. The building was first occupied by Joseph Burras and William Binns, business partners and cloth dressers, and was originally approached by a narrow drive. The date of conversion to a single house is not known, but by 1975, it had been divided into four separate flats.
