Description
15, 16, and 17 King Street are three houses that have been converted into offices and a shop. They were built in the late 18th century and are constructed of brick with stucco dressings, topped with a tile roof. The buildings have a double-depth plan and rise three storeys, featuring a six-window range. The top cornice is partly modillioned, and there is a flat pilaster to the left of the fifth window. The windows are adorned with rusticated wedge lintels above late 19th-century sash windows; the second floor has six-pane sashes, though the glazing bars are missing from the lower sashes of the first four bays.
The entrance to No 15 features an eared architrave, a pulvinated frieze, a cornice, an overlight, and panelled reveals. No 16 has a round-headed entrance to the right, with a fanlight that includes decorative glazing bars beneath a consoled cornice. No 17 has a 20th-century shop front. Inside No 16, there is a round-headed door with a fanlight that has glazing bars, and a staircase with column-on-vase balusters. These houses are part of a row of Georgian buildings in King Street, constructed after 1751, as noted in Isaac Taylor's "A Plan of Wolverhampton" from 1750-1751.
