34, Old Queen Street Sw1

This is a terraced town house located in Old Queen Street, rebuilt circa 1774-80. The building is constructed of stock brick with a slate roof and extends over five storeys and a basement, originally designed with a three-window frontage. The right-hand side features a fine doorway with an elegant, shallow porch supported by fluted, slender Doric columns, with dosserets and a mutule cornice. The entablature curves into the semicircular arched opening, recessed for one order and featuring an archivolt arched fanlight above the porch cornice. The windows are recessed sash windows with flat, gauged arches. A plat band is visible on the first floor, and a dentil cornice sits above the second floor. A brick "triglyph" frieze runs below the parapet coping. A three-window canted bay with cast iron balconies is located at the rear, overlooking St James's Park.

The interior plan is deep and narrow; the first floor features one full-width room to the front and one to the back, separated by a central, top-lit stairwell. A fine, geometrical stone staircase rises within a semicircular niche, with delicate wrought iron S-pattern balustrades. Elaborate neo-classical plasterwork adorns the ceilings of the first floor, along with marble fireplaces. The building shares similarities in design with Nos 14 to 24 Queen Anne's Gate.
