Description
A terrace of shops and flats was built in the 1890s, between 1893 and 1895, by W.D. Caröe. The building is constructed of thin red brick with moulded and carved brick detailing, a Portland stone plinth, and a tiled roof. It is designed in a Free Style with restrained influences from both Carolean and Queen Anne architecture, incorporating Mannerist details.
The terrace is three storeys high, with a basement and a high mansard roof containing two tiers of attics. It is five asymmetrical bays wide. The ground floor features irregularly arranged shop fronts and doorways. An off-centre entrance to the flats is flanked by panelled brick pilasters and a brick pediment above a brick door cornice; it features a pair of lights. The shop fronts have transomed windows, two with segmental brick arches above a ground floor cornice. No. 83 has a corner entrance set behind a stone column that supports the upper floors, with elongated consoles. The upper floors have main window bays flanked by panelled brick pilasters or shallow, vertically linked bays with cornices and off-centre, brick-pilastered niches containing mullioned and transomed casement windows. Window bays are expressed as corniced brick dormers and segmental pedimental dormers in the upper tier. The south return has a large arch at the upper level, topped with a pyramid-roofed attic and windows divided by colonettes, flanked by square-topped pavilions. Tall brick chimney stacks are present. The terrace harmonizes effectively with No. 85 and Nos. 1, 1A and 2 Dukes’s Yard.
