4-8, NEWPORT PLACE WC2 (See details for further address information)

Nos. 4 to 8 Newport Place is a corner block of terrace houses and shops, rebuilt in 1784-85. The building is constructed of stock brick and has a concealed roof, rising to four storeys. It features three windows facing Newport Place and two windows facing Newport Court. The ground floor includes a double shop front from around 1800, with a central door and altered flanking windows. This shop front is framed by pilasters that support an entablature with a dentil cornice, which is segmentally bowed over the windows. There is a three-light, slightly bowed shop window on the Newport Court side, which has a similar entablature, along with another double pilastered shop front featuring the same shaped entablature. The upper floors have recessed glazing bar sashes set under segmental gauged arches on Newport Place and flat gauged arches on the Newport Court return. The building is topped with a parapet that has coping. It was originally part of Nicholas Barbon's development of the Newport House site.
