Description

No. 2 Museum Square is a 18th-century terrace house located in Wisbech. It is constructed of local brown brick and features a slate roof with a side stack. The building stands three storeys high with a basement and has three bays. A stone cill band runs along the façade. The house has two recessed four-paned hung sash windows on the upper floors, which are topped with cambered, gauged red brick arches and have stone cills. There is one painted blind window on the first floor and larger similar windows at the ground floor. To the left of the entrance, there is a large late 19th-century canted bay window. The entrance features a half-glazed recessed door with a round-headed fanlight and radial glazing bars, all set within a wooden architrave and an arch of gauged red brick. The interior retains original cornice details.
