Numbers 24-60 And Attached Railings

This is a terrace of 19 houses built around 1766, located on the east side of Bloomsbury Street in Camden. The houses are constructed of yellow stock brick and feature slated mansard roofs with dormers and tall slab chimney-stacks. A plain stucco band runs continuously along the first floor.

The terrace consists of three storeys, attics, and basements. Houses numbered 24, 26, and 58 have two windows each, while the others have three windows each. The round-arched doorways are framed by fluted pilaster-jambs that support cornice-heads, and they include fanlights and panelled doors. The recessed sash windows have gauged brick flat arches, some of which are painted red, and some ground floor windows have blind boxes. The buildings also feature parapets.
