Numbers 13 And 15 And Attached Railings

Numbers 13 and 15 Glengall Road are a pair of houses dating from approximately 1843 to 1845, likely designed by the Brighton architect Amon Henry Wilds. The houses are constructed of stucco with a hipped slate roof and overhanging eaves. They are two storeys high, with a rusticated semi-basement, and have two bays each. Prominent giant fluted Ionic pilasters rise through the ground and first floors, framing the inner bay of each house and supporting segmental arches over the first-floor windows. The outer entrance bays are slightly recessed and have steps leading to a square Ionic porch with a deep entablature and matching pilasters on either side of the doorway. Sash windows are present throughout, with those in the inner bays having segmental heads and those above the porch being round-headed within a shallow round-arched recess. A string course runs above the basement level. The interior was not inspected during the listing process. The houses are accompanied by cast-iron area railings. They form a group with a row of nine identical, semi-detached pairs facing a row of four similar houses; numbers 1-35 (odd) and 24-38 (even) form this wider group.
