Description

No. 17 Greek Street is a terrace house dating from the late 17th century, which has been altered and features a well-preserved early 19th-century shop front while retaining several original elements. The building is constructed of stock brick with red brick details and has a concealed roof. It stands five storeys tall with a basement, with the top two floors being early 19th-century additions. The façade is three windows wide.

The ground floor showcases an intact early 19th-century shop front, with the house door to the left likely dating from the late 17th or 18th century. This door features eight fielded panels and is framed by slender, flanking reeded pilasters. The display windows on either side of the doorway project on iron brackets and retain their glazing bars. The shop front is topped with a continuous fascia that has inswept ends and a moulded cornice.

On the upper floors, there are recessed sash windows with flat gauged arches, and the windows on the first and second floors retain original red bricks. A stucco plat band runs above the first floor, and there is a 19th-century cornice above the second floor, topped with a parapet that has coping. The cast iron area railings, which are contemporary with the shop front, feature a braced square panel pattern.

Inside, the building retains part of its original passage panelling and a dog leg staircase typical of around 1730, although it has been altered. The compartment walls rising to the first-floor vestibule still feature late 17th-century bolection panelling. The front room on the first floor has an enriched cornice, while the second floor, which includes late 17th-century secondary stairs, retains dado panelling and chimneypieces.
