Description

No. 69 Portland Place is a large end-of-terrace town house, rebuilt in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of gault brick with Portland stone dressings, featuring a channelled and vermiculated ground floor and a slate roof. The building exhibits a restrained Italianate Classicism style and stands four storeys tall with a basement and a dormered mansard roof.

The front facade is broad, with three windows, and it has a nine-window return to Devonshire Street that includes the entrance. A shallow porch supported by Doric columns leads to the entrance, and there is an iron balustraded parapet above. The upper floors have recessed sash windows with architrave surrounds, and those on the first and second floors feature cornices.

A stone balcony with an enriched late Grecian patterned continuous balustrade is present on the first floor, while the second floor has a sill course and a sharply profiled bracketed crowning cornice topped with a coped parapet. The return facade displays similar architectural details. Additionally, there are plumbed finialed cast iron area railings.
