Description
Stafford House is a mid-19th century shop and office located in Queen Square, Wolverhampton. The building is constructed of ashlar and features a parapeted roof in an Italianate style. It stands four storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window range. The modern shop front includes two Tuscan pilasters, an enriched sill band on the second floor, and a top cornice with modillions and a blocking course. The panelled quoins add to its architectural detail.
On the first floor, the windows are adorned with Ionic aedicules and pediments; the central window features a swan-necked pediment with an anthemion, and all have 12-pane sashes with leaded glazing. The second floor windows have eared architraves, pulvinated friezes, and cornices, with 12-pane sashes and a central bracketed balcony. The third floor has round-headed windows with architraves, panelled sills, and sashes that include glazing bars. Gable-end stacks are present, and the third bay provides an entry to Hampton Walk. The interior has not been inspected.
