Description
No 37 Church Street is an early 18th-century house that stands five storeys tall and was formerly known as Foulislea. The building is constructed of brick and is generously dressed with grey stone, featuring elements such as a skirting, cills, keystones, long-and-short quoins, a rich classical cornice, and plain coping above a brick parapet. The facade has five windows and is predominantly flat, but it is interrupted in the center by an elaborately carved porch supported by four modified Roman Corinthian columns. This porch is topped with a carved entablature that includes a pulvinated frieze and leads to a square brick bay that extends the full height of the house. The bay features two narrow windows on its sides at each upper storey. Inside the porch, there is a panelled door. The facade's courses up to the cornice consist of headers only, while the parapet is constructed in Flemish bond and the sides in English bond. A wrought iron railing, set in a stone footing, encloses the entire building from the steps of the porch. There are later additions at the back of the house. Inside, there is a richly carved wooden staircase. The property is part of a group with Nos 1 to 39 (odd) and the Court House, as well as No 127 Dunstable Street.
