11,12 AND 13, KING STREET

Three houses, now a restaurant and offices, were built in the late 18th century. They are located on the north side of King Street in Wolverhampton. The houses are constructed of brick, with the fifth and sixth bays stuccoed, and have a tile roof. They follow a double-depth plan and stand three storeys high, with a seven-window front. The top cornice is modillioned, and there are flat pilasters to the left of the fifth bay and at the right end. The windows have rusticated wedge lintels over 12-pane sashes, although some have had their glazing bars removed. A 6-pane sash is present on the second floor, and a 4-pane sash on the first bay. A carriage entrance within the first bay features a rusticated elliptical arch and a pair of plain doors. The remainder of the ground floor contains plain 20th-century shop fronts. The interior of the houses remains uninspected. These houses are part of a row of Georgian properties built after 1751, as shown in Isaac Taylor's Plan of Wolverhampton from 1750-1751.
