Description
Nos. 2 to 8 Ganton Street, including No. 1 Newburgh Street and No. 37 Marshall Street, are terrace houses with shops built around 1820, featuring some alterations. This uniform row has stock brick fronts with inset bowed corners and stands four storeys tall, with each front being two windows wide. Nos. 1 Newburgh Street and 37 Marshall Street have single window fronts and three window returns. The wooden shop fronts include pilaster frames and an entablature that runs across the entire row, although the display windows have been altered. The doorways, both for shops and houses, are square-headed with rectangular fanlights and panelled doors, while Nos. 4 and 8 have small pane margin glazed fanlights. The upper floors are fitted with recessed glazing bar sashes beneath flat gauged arches. The returns of Nos. 1 Newburgh Street and 37 Marshall Street feature semicircular arched doorways with pilaster jambs, radial fanlights, and flush and fielded panel doors, along with glazing bar sashes on the upper floors. The terrace has a uniform parapet with coping. The interiors include simple early 19th-century moulding and geometrical wooden stairs. This building is part of the early 19th-century redevelopment of Carnaby Street and Newburgh Street.
