Description
No. 96 Harley Street is a terraced town house built around 1777 as part of the Portland Estate development, likely designed by John White in collaboration with the plasterer Thomas Collins, who were associates of Sir William Chambers. The building is constructed of stock brick and features a slate roof. It has four storeys, a basement, and a dormered mansard, with three windows across the front.
To the left, there is a broad semicircular arched doorway adorned with Coade stone vermiculated rustications and a keystone featuring a head. The entrance includes a panelled door, sidelights, and a patterned fanlight. The upper floors have recessed sash windows set under flat gauged arches. The first floor has a plat band and sill band, with a cornice above the second floor, a modillion cornice, and a blocking course. A continuous early 19th-century cast iron balcony spans the first floor, and there are cast iron plumbed spike area railings.
Inside, the house retains several notable features, including a top-lit stone geometrical staircase with a cast iron balustrade, fluted and patera friezes, and stucco mythological medallions above marble chimneypieces. These elements are characteristic of high-quality speculative houses from the 1770s in Harley Street.
