69 and 70, Great Hampton Street B18

Nos. 69 and 70 on Great Hampton Street are a pair of red brick townhouses built around 1830. They stand three storeys tall and feature a stucco plinth and window dressings. The low pitch slate roof has an eaves band. The symmetrical façade has a slightly unusual arrangement of windows and doorways at each end. There are two windows on the ground floor, five on the first floor—three of which are grouped at the centre—and four windows on the second floor. The windows have revealed glazing bar sashes, stucco sills, and architrave mouldings at the heads, which are flanked by shallow consoles with acanthus leaf designs and thin cornices above. The doors consist of five fielded panels with radial glazed fanlights, set in panelled reveals. The doorcases feature incised transom pilasters with a Greek key motif on the caps, supporting open pediments.
