Description
56 and 57 Shakespeare Street are a pair of houses built between 1836 and 1837. They are constructed of brick with buff headers and have stucco dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring brick end stacks. Designed in the Georgian style, the houses are two storeys tall and have a symmetrical four-window arrangement. A top brick cornice runs along the building. The round-headed entrances, including a central entry, feature blind fanlights with a faint radial glazing-bar pattern, four flush-panel doors, and a plank door for the entry. The ground floor has canted bay windows with cornices above 4:12:4-pane sashes, while the first-floor windows have sills and rusticated wedge lintels over 12-pane sashes. These houses are part of the early 19th-century development of the northern part of Stratford, known as New Town.
