Alban House

Alban House is a building located in Hereford, dating from the mid-19th century, with a rear wing that is from the 16th century or earlier, and some alterations made in the 20th century. The exterior is finished in stucco with a slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and features a three-window range with late 19th-century plain sash windows that have architraves and moulded pediments supported by scrolled consoles. Above these, there are 3/6 sashes with shouldered architraves and moulded hoods with pads. The façade is enhanced by four Corinthian pilasters, a frieze, and a dentilled cornice, along with a balustrade that has moulded stone coping. The shop fronts were updated in the 20th century.

The roof of the building from the 19th century includes reused timbers from a 14th or 15th-century structure, featuring a massive wall plate with mouldings and castellations, as well as six former moulded window mullions, likely from the 15th century, which now function as ceiling joists. At the rear, there is a timber-framed wing that dates back to the 16th century or earlier. Inside this wing, the ground floor retains its original richly moulded bridging beams and ceiling frame. The first floor has a complete studded ceiling frame and original plaster, with fragmentary paintings on the side frame timbers and infill panels. The original roof still includes wind braces.
