Description

No. 6 Suffolk Street is a terraced house built between 1823 and 1824 by Edward Cresy for himself, as part of the Suffolk Street-Suffolk Place development designed by John Nash. The building is constructed of stucco with a slate roof and features a unique facade that draws inspiration from Palladio's house in Vicenza, reflecting Cresy's Italian tour with Ledwell Taylor.

The house stands three storeys high, with an attic storey and a basement. It has a narrow, tall one-window front flanked by blind windows on the upper floors. The ground floor is slightly advanced and features a channelled design with a square-headed doorway to the right and a tripartite recessed sash window. Above this, a tall, archivolt arched window with looped fan glazing is framed by engaged Ionic columns, which support breaks in a modillion corniced entablature. This entablature serves as a sill band for a second-floor window that is architraved and corniced, set between fluted Corinthian pilasters. These pilasters rise from the entablature breaks below and support a break in the third-floor entablature, which is topped by an architraved attic window. The building is crowned with a modillion cornice and a blocking course. Additionally, the Royal Arms are carved in stone above the ground floor window, and cast iron spearhead area railings complete the exterior.

No. 6 is part of an important collection of street architecture that reflects Nash's Regent Street style.
