16-24, Fitzwilliam Street

This is an early 19th century terrace of small houses, numbered 16 to 24, on Fitzwilliam Street. The buildings are three storeys high with attics and basements, constructed of gault brick and topped with slate roofs. The windows have flat brick arches and glazing bars. Balconies feature wrought iron railings, and the doorways are round-headed, retaining many original flush panelled doors and ornamental metal fanlights. A simple iron railing, including vases on stanchions, runs along the front of the basement area. Number 22 has a panel indicating that Charles Darwin lived there from 1836 to 1837. The terrace is a good example of early 19th century terraced houses, and together with the other listed buildings on Fitzwilliam Street, forms a notable group. Roofs are not visible.
