Description
No. 60 Frith Street is a terrace house built around 1680 to 1688 by Richard Campion, with alterations from the 18th century. The building features brown brick with red brick dressings and has a concealed roof. It stands four storeys tall with a basement and is three windows wide. The ground floor is stuccoed and has an entrance on the left, framed by a late 18th-century Ionic pilaster design with acanthus neckings and swagged volutes. This supports an entablature adorned with swagged urns, paterae, and acanthus leaf ornamentation on the frieze. The windows on the ground and first floors are recessed box framed glazing bar sashes, set under flat gauged arches with keystones. The attic storey is also from the late 18th century, and there are stone plat bands above the ground and first floors. The parapet has coping, and there are wrought iron area railings topped with urn finials. The rear elevation is similarly constructed of brown brick with red dressings, featuring segmental arched windows and brick band courses, along with a projecting closet wing.
Inside, the house has undergone early and late 18th-century modifications but still retains late 17th-century bolection moulded panelling, particularly in the stairwell. The first-floor front room showcases delicate late 18th-century plasterwork on the ceiling and frieze, although the original cornice remains. The lower flights of the staircase, which have slender turned balusters, date from the late 18th century, while the flights from the second to the third floor preserve the original closed string and twisted balusters.
