Description
No. 59 is a terraced town house located on Harley Street in Westminster, dating from around 1780 as part of the Portland Estate development. The building is constructed of stock brick with a channelled stucco ground floor and has a slate roof. It stands four storeys high, with a basement and a dormered mansard roof, and features two windows across its facade.
To the left, there is a semicircular arched doorway with a panelled door, sidelights, and a patterned fanlight. The upper floors have recessed sash windows under flat gauged arches, with a sill band on the first floor that is interrupted by the windows and supports a parapet with coping. Continuous cast iron balconies with a geometric wheel pattern are present on the first and second floors, and there are cast iron area railings.
