Description
The Cavalry Club is a town mansion built in 1888, designed by Adolphus Croft for Gillow and Co. An extension to the right and additional alterations were made by Mewes and Davis for the Cavalry Club in 1908. The building is constructed of Portland stone and features a slate roof. It has four storeys, a basement, and a dormered mansard, with a width of nine windows and an additional bay to the right. The ground floor is rusticated and includes a central Doric portico supported by four polished pink granite columns on pedestals, along with a flight of steps and two large canted bay windows on either side. The first-floor windows are surrounded by Gibbs surrounds with pediments, while the upper floors feature architraved windows with cornices and pediments. The building is topped with a modillion bracket crowning cornice and a balustraded parapet on a high blocking course, which has arched openings for each dormer window. Inside, a few late 18th-century features remain, including some wrought iron balustrading on the staircase and two chimney pieces in the Kent manner located in the rear ground floor room.
