Description
No. 12 Gerrard Street is a terrace house built around 1695, with its stucco facing featuring scribed coursing likely added in 1848. The building has a stucco exterior and a slate roof, standing three storeys tall with a dormered mansard. It is two windows wide, although the ground floor window and doorway were altered in the mid-20th century. The upper floors feature architraved recessed casements framed by large fluted stone Ionic pilasters, which support a large dentilled cornice that is probably original. These pilasters are topped with short piers that have shell acroteria, flanking the attic parapet. Inside, the house retains the upper flights of an original or early 18th-century dog leg staircase with slender turned balusters. This property is part of Nicholas Barbon's original development of Gerrard Street, which was laid out from 1677.
