Description

No. 2 Lower John Street is a terrace house built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of yellow stock brick and stands four storeys high, topped with a parapet and coping. The house features three windows across its front. The ground floor has an early 19th-century plain shop front, which includes a panelled and glazed doorway alongside a thin mullioned window. This shop front is framed by Tuscan pilasters with entablatures. The upper floors have revealed glazing bar sash windows set beneath flat gauged arches.
