Description

21 Queen Square is a house that now serves as part of Leeds Metropolitan University. It was built between 1810 and 1815 by John and George Bischoff and has been altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof. It stands two storeys high with two bays. There are two steps leading up to a six-panel door on the left, which has a fanlight with radial glazing bars, framed by a wooden surround with reeded pilasters and an open dentilled pediment. To the right, there is a four-pane sash window in a moulded flush frame with a stone sill and wedge lintel. On the first floor to the left, there is another sash window with glazing bars in a flush frame, a stone sill, and a shallow lintel. A 20th-century window is located on the right side. The interior has not been inspected. The square was initiated in 1806, starting with two houses on the northwest side, and this side was developed as the second stage, featuring nine smaller houses built between 1810 and 1815.
