53, 55 AND 57, ROTTEN ROW

Three houses, numbers 53, 55, and 57, are located on Rotten Row in Lichfield. They were likely built around 1830 and are constructed of brick with a tile roof, featuring three brick stacks arranged crosswise. The houses are of a double-depth plan and designed in a Georgian style. They stand three storeys high with a four-window facade, topped by a brick frieze. Each house has an entrance to the right of its windows, featuring doorcases that include faceted pilaster strips, a frieze, and a cornice. Number 53 has a half-glazed door, number 55 has a later 20th-century door, and number 57 has a door with six fielded panels. A round-headed doorway to the right of number 53 also contains a six-fielded-panel door. The windows all have sills and flat brick arches above them. The ground floor features 16-pane horned sashes, the first floor has 16-pane sashes, and the second floor has eight-paned sashes, along with one 6-pane casement. The rear of the buildings is similar in design.
