30 And 32, Old Queen Street Sw1

Nos 30 and 32 Old Queen Street are a pair of terraced town houses built around 1774 to 1780. They are constructed from yellow stock brick and feature slate roofs, standing five storeys tall with a basement. Each house is two windows wide and has a rusticated stucco facing on the ground floor, with entrances located to the right and left. The porches have Doric porticos, with No 32 featuring a two-storey portico and a rectangular bay window on the first floor. Both houses have square-headed doorways with double panelled doors and fanlights. The windows are recessed glazing bar sashes set under flat gauged arches, and No 32 includes a canted bay window on the first floor. No 30 is distinguished by a Greek Key patterned plat band on the first floor, a brick "triglyph" frieze below the fourth-floor sill course, and a parapet with coping. The cast iron area railings have urn finials. The rear elevations facing St James's Park feature three-window bows with a stucco Greek Key frieze below the top floor and delicate iron balconies in an S pattern. The interiors include elegant stone geometrical staircases with delicate wrought iron balustrades, as well as fine plasterwork and neoclassical marble chimney pieces in No 32.
