Description
Montague House is an earlier 18th century building located on High Street in Hoddesdon. It is constructed of red brick with a machine tile roof, featuring painted stone pilasters, quoins, keystones, and an entablature. The building has a double, hipped roof made of old tiles and stands three storeys tall. The façade is arranged with a 1:3:1 pattern of sash windows, where the first floor has 6/6 panes and the second floor has 3/3 panes. Full height rusticated pilasters are present in the center, with quoins at the ends and a floor band running across. The ground floor features segmental headed lights with voussoirs, while the first and second floors have lights with keystones. A modern console doorcase and ground floor windows have been added. The rear elevation is parapeted and includes a canted, full-height window bay. Montague House was the home of John Loudon McAdam, a road engineer, from 1827 to 1836.
