Description
39 and 40 Hanover Square are a pair of attached houses built around 1823 by architect James Pigott Pritchett for George Rawson of Denison Hall. The houses are constructed of red brick with stone details and feature a slate roof. They rise three storeys above a basement and have seven first-floor windows. The buildings have a plinth and glazed doors with overlights set in an architrave that includes console brackets supporting a cornice. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, though some have been replaced with modern versions. The ground floor has apron panels, a deep sill band is present on the first floor, and stone sills are found on the second floor. Notably, the central second-floor window of No. 39 is now blocked. The houses have an eaves cornice and end stacks, as well as a stack between the two properties. The interior has not been inspected. In 1823, George Rawson sold the grounds of Denison Hall after commissioning Pritchett to design housing for Hanover Square.
