4 terraced houses, now converted to flats. 1835-41, altered C20. Brick in Flemish bond with stucco facing and dressings. Roofs parapeted. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys over basement and 2 windows each, making for a 16-window range to the long block. Original entrances and numbering altered during recent conversion into flats. Ground-floor openings are round-arched, those to current and former entrances are larger than the pair of windows to the side of each. Sill band to 1st floor, where the flat-arched windows are set in shallow segmental-arched recesses. Gauged brick lintels to 2nd-floor windows. Continuous entablature to parapet. Stacks to party walls. 6x6 sashes of an authentic design to all upper-floor windows; many ground-floor glazing bars of an authentic design as well. Some entrances flanked by Tuscan antae. INTERIOR: not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached cast-iron area railings. Nos 4-40 (even) Falmouth Road (qv) form a good group and were originally called Taunton Place and Queen's Terrace (the latter corresponding to the southern part of the surviving row). The terraces were renamed Brunswick Street in 1851-2 and Falmouth Road in 1867.
