Description
No. 124 Wigmore Street is a terraced town house built around 1770-1780 as part of the Portman Estate development, with slight alterations from the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of stock brick, featuring a channelled stucco ground floor and a slate roof. It has four storeys and a dormered mansard, along with a basement. The façade is three windows wide, with a broad segmental arched doorway on the left that includes a fanlight and an entablature doorhead supported by inset Greek Doric columns. The upper floors have recessed sash windows with wooden architraves, set beneath flat gauged arches. The first-floor windows are adorned with stucco architraves and consoled cornices, with the central window featuring a pediment. A stucco finish is complemented by a plat band, with a brick plat band above the second floor, and a brick cornice and blocking course at the top. A continuous cast iron balcony is present on the first floor, along with cast iron area railings that have tasselled spearhead finials. Inside, the house retains a delicately turned baluster staircase and some original plasterwork.
