Description
Passmore, also known as Harlow Museum, is a mid-18th century house located on Third Avenue. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a stone-coped parapet with pilastered returns and a central section. It has a hipped roof covered with peg tiles.
Architecturally, the house displays moulded brick bands at the first floor, eaves, and plinth, with leaded tops. The first storey has a range of six small-paned hornless sash windows, although the second window is blocked. These windows are set within segmental arches that have key-stones. The ground floor features an off-centre door, positioned to the left of a pilaster, which consists of six panels topped with a fan light. There is a pedimented case above the door. To the right of the entrance, there are three clear glazed sash windows, while to the left, there is a semi-hexagonal bay window. All the window sills are made of stone. Additionally, there is a later two-storey addition on the left side of the building.
