Description
These are a group of terraced houses dating to around 1850, developed by Henry Rydon. They are located on the north-west side of Arlington Square in Islington. The houses are constructed of yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco finishes. The roof is hidden behind a parapet.
Each house has three storeys over a basement, and two windows wide. The basement and ground floor are stuccoed, with the ground floor featuring banded rustication. There are flat-arched entrances with overlights, and the doors consist of two tall panels to numbers 40 and 43. The windows are flat-arched, with moulded stucco architraves and cornices supported by consoles to the first floor. The second floor has simpler moulded stucco architraves. The windows are sash windows with six panes per sash, and margin lights to the ground floor windows of numbers 40 (second floor), 42-43 (ground floor), 45, and 46 (first and second floors). Cast-iron railings are present along the steps and area.
