2-8, Prince Albert Street

This is a row of six terraced houses located on Prince Albert Street in Brighton. They were built around 1842, coinciding with the creation of the street itself, which connects Market Street to Black Lion Street. The properties are now used as shops, offices, and flats.

The houses are constructed with stucco and have a parapet that obscures the roofline. They are three stories high with a basement. Numbers 2 through 7 each have a single window fronting Prince Albert Street; however, number 8 is an intersection building, displaying a two-window range to Prince Albert Street and a curved corner range where it meets the return. The architectural style is described as "Regency Revival," reflecting a deliberate return to Regency-era design principles despite the later construction date. The uniformity of the row was emphasized in the late 20th century by restoring shop fronts to an original design.

Each unit features a segmental bay window on all floors. The tops of these bays stop just short of a continuous cornice running along the terrace. Most windows are flat-arched, with projecting sills on number 8. The first-floor bays of numbers 3 through 8 have 6/6 sashes in the center windows and 4/4 sashes to the sides. The corner window of number 8 features 4/4 and 2/4 sashes on the first and second floors. A single window, instead of a bay, is found near the corner of number 8; this window displays 8/8 sashes on the upper floors, and 4/4 and 2/4 sashes to the first and second floors respectively. The second-floor bays of numbers 4 through 8 have 6/6 sashes in the center, and 4/4 sashes to the sides. Number 8 has a triple-window arrangement on the return elevation with 4/4 sashes, and double windows with 4/4 sashes on each floor of the second window range. Chimneys are incorporated into the corner range, with another chimney placed along the party wall. The corner of number 8 has a plain sign panel. The return of number 8 features a mid-to-late 19th-century cast-iron arcade, now enclosed by a 20th-century front; the arcade spandrels are openwork with a floral pattern, and the capitals are in a medieval style. The remaining units have chimneys on the party walls.

The interiors of the properties have not been inspected. Numbers 3 through 8 were initially listed in 1952.
