Lloyd House And Attached Railings

Lloyd House is a semi-detached linked villa, now functioning as a single house, located on Lloyd Street in Islington. It was built around 1833 by John Booth and his son, also named John, who were surveyors for the Lloyd Baker Estate, with architectural contributions from William Joseph Booth, another son. The house features gold stock bricks arranged in Flemish bond, with stucco dressings and a stucco pediment above the paired entrances. It has Welsh slate gabled roofs and brick stacks at the ends and center, showcasing a restrained Greek Revival style.

The design includes a side-hall entrance plan for the linked bay of each house, with two stories and a basement. Each side has two windows, including a recessed entrance bay that connects the two. Low steps lead up to a deeply recessed stucco entrance, supported by antae and topped with an entablature. The left side features an architraved round-arched doorway with a corniced head, an elaborate patterned fanlight, and a pair of panelled doors, while the door on the right has been blocked and altered in the 20th century.

The windows are architraved sashes, with the ground floor having 6/6 sashes and the first floor featuring various casement sashes, along with recessed balconied links that have narrower sashes. There is a plain stucco band at the first-floor storey and another stucco band beneath the pediment. The first-floor recessed link has a stucco parapet with coping or a blocking course. The property is also adorned with attached cast-iron railings that have urn finials.
