Numbers 89, 90 And 91 And Attached Railings

Numbers 89, 90, and 91 are three terraced houses located on the north side of Great Russell Street in Camden. Number 89 dates from the early 19th century, while numbers 90 and 91 were built in the late 18th century and have been altered. The houses are constructed of darkened brick, with number 89 featuring a rusticated stucco ground floor. They have slate mansard roofs with dormers and are three storeys tall, including attics and basements, with three windows each. The windows have gauged brick flat arches and recessed sash windows, with number 90 retaining its original glazing bars. Each house has stucco cornices and blocking courses.

Number 89 has a round-arched doorway with pilaster jambs that support a cornice head, along with a fanlight and a panelled door. The dormer windows have "Y" shaped glazing bars. The properties are complemented by attached cast-iron railings with urn finials.

Number 90 features a later 19th-century shopfront with pilasters that support an entablature, flanked by brackets, although the shop window has been altered. It also has a square-headed doorway with a fanlight and a panelled door.

Number 91 has a later 19th-century stucco shopfront with Ionic pilasters supporting an entablature that includes a dentil cornice. The ground floor has three openings, with arched end bays and enriched spandrels. Its doorway has pilaster jambs and an entablature with a figured frieze.

The interiors of the houses have not been inspected. Additionally, there are attached cast-iron railings at the entrance featuring cone finials and three shoe scrapers. Historically, number 91 was the home of the artist George du Maurier from 1863 to 1868, as noted by a plaque from the Greater London Council.
