Description
Nos. 18-28 Temple Fortune Hill are artisan cottages built between 1908 and 1909 by architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. They use the same materials and basic layout as the odd-numbered cottages at Nos. 17-27 Temple Fortune Hill, located opposite. There are slight variations in detail, including pronounced flared eaves on the outshuts of each flared wing and a single light window added to the peak of No. 18's facing gable in the later 20th century. The interior returns of each wing do not have half dormers and feature three windows each. There is a narrow round-arched twin passage in the main range where it joins the crosswing, and a greater variety of casement lights. The cottages have an axial ridge stack in the center and lateral stacks on the main roof range aligned with the crosswing, as well as a pair of stacks for each crosswing. This group forms part of the important original artisans' quarter planned by Unwin, contributing to a coherent streetscape made up of distinct types, similar to Asmuns Hill.
