Number 44 And Attached Railings

Number 44 and the attached railings are terraced houses built in the late 18th century, although they were rebuilt in the late 20th century during their conversion into an office block, with Nos. 45 and 46 now part of No. 44. The exterior features mathematical tiles and stucco on the left return, with a slate roof.

The building has three storeys with an added roof storey above a basement. The entrances are round-arched, each with 6-panelled doors. The entrance to the left has an architrave interrupted by a keystone, with a roll chamfer on the corner of the jamb and archivolt, while the plain archivolts and jambs are straightforward. The centre and right entrances feature panelled jambs and archivolts, with architraves that have diminutive keystones. These doors are flanked by attached Tuscan columns, each topped with an entablature block supporting a pediment made of raking cornices.

To the left of each entrance, there are full-height, canted bays with flat-arched, tripartite windows. The sashes are of the original design, installed during restoration. Each bay has a cornice at the ground floor and plain spandrels above. There are plain wooden storey bands between the ground and first floors, and between the first and second floors, topped by a parapet with metal flashing. The entrances and areas are enclosed by railings. The return side has a two-window range with a rusticated ground floor and a storey band above. There is one round-arched window near the corner with a spandrel below, while the remaining windows are flat-arched, with a storey band between the first and second floors.

The interior has not been inspected. Nos. 44 and 47 form a group with the Royal York Buildings.
