Oban House (Number 9)

Oban House (number 9) is a pair of houses built around 1824 to 1836, with later additions and alterations. The exterior is a mix of pinkish-brown brick, rough-cast concrete on the left side, and painted stucco on the right, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The house has two storeys and basements, featuring six windows on the first floor, each with 6/6 sash windows and sills. The ground floor has steps leading to central entrances, with two-panel doors and overlights. The left door has a blind box, while both entrances are framed by a frieze and ornamental consoles supporting a cornice. There are 10-pane French windows on the left side of the ground floor, and 6-pane French windows with divided overlights on the right. Basement windows consist of 6/6 sashes and casements. Decorative bargeboards run along the eaves, and end stacks are present.

Inside number 9, a central, narrow, open-well staircase features stick balusters, though the rest of the interior was not inspected. Portland Place itself was laid out between 1823 and 1824.
