Numbers 319-359 (Odd) And Attached Railings

Numbers 319-359 (odd) and attached railings are a terrace of houses originally called York Place, built in stages between 1806 and 1812. They may have been designed by James Taylor. The houses are constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond, with stucco finishes, and have mansard roofs covered with Welsh and artificial slate. They are four storeys high, with a basement, and generally have two windows each.

The basement and ground floor are stuccoed, with a scored finish intended to resemble ashlar, except for numbers 351-359, which retain exposed brickwork. The entrances have round arches, although later replacement doorcases are present at numbers 319-321. Numbers 323-327, 343, 329, and 331 have doorcases with reeded pilasters, cornices, or panelled details, some of which are likely replacements. Numbers 333-341 and 345-347 feature fluted quarter-columns and cornices, while numbers 349-355 have reeded engaged Ionic columns and cornices. Number 357 has paired reeded pilasters and no. 359 has a deeply recessed, late 20th-century entrance. Fanlights with decorative glazing are found at numbers 321, 323, 335-343 and 357. Original-design panelled doors remain at numbers 321-323.

The ground-floor windows are round-arched with gauged brick heads; a window guard is present at number 351, and a shallow, single-story bow window has been added to number 357. Upper-floor windows are flat-arched with gauged brick heads, with the first floor windows being of piano nobile proportions, except at numbers 333 and 343, which have raised sills. Bracketed balconies with iron railings are present at numbers 327 and 345; other balconies are likely replacements. A parapet tops the building. Dormers are incorporated into the mansard roofs. Geometrical-design area railings are visible at numbers 327-333 and 351.
