12, TEMPLE FORTUNE LANE (See details for further address information)

This house, located at 12 Temple Fortune Lane, was built between 1908 and 1910 according to designs by Edward Palser. It features painted render and a tiled roof with swept boxed eaves and tile-flat gable kneelers. The openings are flat arched and contain original leaded casement lights set in a mullion and transom frame. The house is two stories high and has a three-window range on the long elevation facing Palser Square, with the center range projecting to form a gable. There is one window range on the right return, with a shallow polygonal bay on the ground floor and a rectangular bay on the left. The entrance is located under a porch on the short return of the facing gable. The dimensions and arrangements of the windows vary to create an asymmetrical design. There is a square brick stack at the inside corner of the projecting range and another stack at the rear of the left-hand range. This house is the only asymmetrical structure on the Square and serves as a transition point from Temple Fortune Lane. It is part of a notable group of buildings that includes Nos. 12-32 (even).
