63 Monmouth Street

This is a late 17th-century terraced house, which has been altered in the mid-19th century and restored and partly remodelled between 1983 and 1985 by the Terry Farrell Partnership as part of the Comyn Ching Triangle regeneration. It is now used as a shop and offices, and is interconnected with number 61 Monmouth Street.

The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern on the front facade, and red and stock brick in English bond at the rear, with plain tiled roofs. The rear features stone paving, masonry parapet walls with steel rails, and stone-clad basement areas behind a shallow, moulded masonry plinth with a tubular steel balustrade, bearing the Terry Farrell Partnership's reversed CC insignia. The rear elevation is of red-brown and stock brick, repaired and patched, and rises four storeys plus a basement, topped by a gabled parapet.

The front of the building has three storeys with an attic and basement, with two bays and an entrance to the right. The ground floor features a restored and partly recreated shop front with five vertical lights, slender glazing bars, a concave stall riser on brackets, a renewed doorcase, a part-glazed door, and a number plate by Farrell. The first and second floors contain slightly recessed six-over-six pane sash windows with slender glazing bars beneath shallow, cambered brick arches. A flat-roofed, three-light dormer is set back behind a rebuilt plain brick parapet. A ridge stack is located between numbers 61 and 63.

The rear elevation has six-over-six pane sashes with very slender glazing bars, painted black, beneath flat, gauged brick arches on the ground floor. Upper floor windows have segmental heads in an 18th-century style, with six-over-six panes on the first and second floors and three-over-six above, with two-over-four and two-over-two lights to the left.

The ground floor interior is now a single commercial space shared with number 61. It contains a replica 18th-century staircase, and the original roof trusses are exposed. The mapping of the rear porches, parapet walls and railings is not drawn to scale.
