Number 1-11 (Consecutive) and Attached Railings

These are a group of terraced houses dating from around 1850, developed by Henry Rydon and built in whole or part by John Hill. They are located on the north-east side of Arlington Square, Islington. Built of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco detailing, the roofs are hidden behind a parapet. The houses are arranged as three storeys over a basement, and each has two windows. The basement and ground floors are stuccoed, with the ground floor having decorative banded rustication. Steps lead up to flat-arched entrances with railings, featuring minimal doorcases, overlights, and doors with two panels, except at numbers 5, 8, and 9. All windows are flat-arched; those on the first floor have moulded stucco architraves and cornices supported on consoles (these are missing from numbers 7-10). Window guards are present on the first floor of numbers 3, 4, 7, and 11. The second-floor windows have moulded stucco architraves. The ground-floor windows have 4/4 sash windows with margin lights, found at numbers 3-6, 8-9; the first-floor windows have 6/6 sashes at numbers 3, 5, 7, 9, and the second-floor windows at numbers 3, 6, and 11. A stucco cornice and blocking course tops the building. Chimney stacks are located in the party walls. Cast-iron railings are present at the steps and area.
