Area Railings At No 14

The area railings at No 14 Fournier Street are from the early 18th century. The building is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and features moulded brick strings between the storeys. It has three storeys, a basement, and an attic, with four windows that are set under segmental arches with triple keys. The windows have double hung sashes in flush frames with glazing bars. The entrance boasts a fine wooden doorcase with fielded panels in the reveals and a segmental soffit, flanked by fluted Ionic three-quarter columns and topped with a segmental hood that has carved brackets and a mutule cornice. Inside, there is a good staircase with twisted balusters. The area railings are also notable. This building is part of a group that includes the Great Synagogue, Nos 1 to 39 (odd), Nos 2 to 20 (even), No 84 (The Ten Bells Public House), Christ Church on Commercial Street, and Nos 57 and 59 Brick Lane, as well as No 2 Wilkes Street.
