188, Hammersmith Road

House, dating to around 1820, and altered in the mid-19th century (circa 1850-60), is now a club. It is constructed of gault brick with a slate roof concealed behind a parapet, and has painted stone dressings. The building is two storeys high, with attics and basements, and originally comprised three bays. Lower, two-storey single bays were later added to each side. At the rear, a pair of two-storey elliptical bays exist, partially obscured by ground floor extensions but structurally intact.

The front elevation has a central three-bay section that projects slightly, with shallow reveals. The upper floor features a recessed semi-circular arch containing a central window. The windows are margin-glazed sashes, with bracketed sills and iron balustrades typical of the 1850-60s. Similar windows are found on the right-hand extension. The central entrance has paired, two-panelled doors beneath a pointed arched fanlight of the mid-19th century. A porch, also from the 1850-60s, features paired columns with robust, sub-classical mouldings, supported by matching engaged half piers. There is a flat canopy with an ornate iron balustrade above. To the left and right of the main entrance are similarly detailed surrounds, although the left-hand one has been altered. A moulded dentil cornice and parapet, likely from the mid-19th century, tops the building.

Internal gable stacks are present to the original end walls. Rear upper-floor windows have glazing bars. The attic dormers have been altered. Internally, a slender staircase features stick balusters, a moulded mahogany handrail, turned newels, and one iron baluster moulded at the newels. The architraves are reeded, and those on the ground floor have masks incorporated at the angles. Ground-floor doors have been boarded over. At the rear, ground-floor windows have been removed, but the parallel shuttering and casing remain intact, complementing the shutters on the front window. Upper floor windows are intact, set within panelled reveals and boxes. The moulded cornices are from around 1820, with some additions from the 1850-60s. An upper-floor marble fireplace remains, with its original grate and detailing. The building is noted to have served as the premises of the Constitutional club for a century.
