36, Weymouth Street

No. 36 Weymouth Street is a town villa that was rebuilt in the 19th century from a mews building. The exterior is stuccoed with a channelled ground floor and features a slate roof. This building is an interesting example of Regency Revival architecture. It stands two storeys tall with a dormered mansard above a basement and is four windows wide. The doorway, located in the second bay from the left, is architraved and corniced. To the right, there is a segmental bowed tripartite window with pilaster dividers and an entablature, while the other windows are glazing bar sashes set back in architraves. The dormers are corniced and have casements. There is a single-storey extension with one window to the right. The building has channelled quoins, a first-floor sill band, and a crowning dentil cornice with a balustraded parapet beneath each dormer. The area is enclosed by cast iron railings with plumbed spike finials. This building is an early example of the Portland (Howard de Walden) Estate's efforts to reintroduce a domestic residential character in a predominantly professional area, a scheme that was pursued in the early 1900s on these east-west cross streets.
