Description
This is a terrace of town houses located at 106-118 Gloucester Place, London, dating from approximately 1800 as part of the Portman Estate development. The buildings are constructed of stock brick with stucco banding and block rustication to the ground floors, and have slate roofs that are largely concealed. The terrace comprises four storeys and basements, with some houses having five storeys or dormered mansards. Each house has a three-window front.
A semicircular arched doorway is located on the left-hand side, with panelled doors featuring inset columns and narrow side lights. These doorways are accentuated by Coade stone impost detail and delicately patterned fanlights with lead ornament. The upper floors feature recessed sash windows under flat, gauged arches. A plat band separates the ground floor stuccowork from the upper levels, and stucco crowning cornices and blocking courses are present at the roofline.
Original cast iron balconies with geometric and anthemion patterns are found on the first floor, alongside trellis standard verandahs with tent roofs. Cast iron area railings, topped with urn finials, complete the exterior. The terrace forms part of a remarkably complete and extensive sequence of Georgian town houses in London.
