Description
Number 58 is an early 19th century terraced house that was remodelled in the mid to late 19th century. The ground floor was rebuilt in 1901, when the structure was extended to the rear and partially integrated with Number 14 Grafton Street. The building is constructed of stucco and brown brick with stucco dressings, and has a slate roof.
The exterior is three storeys and an attic over a basement, with a single window range. A flat-arched entrance, framed by Tuscan pilasters supporting a stilted, camber arch topped by an entablature, leads to a flight of stairs. The ground floor is stucco rendered as rustication with alternating plain and vermiculated bands. A three-storey canted bay dominates the facade, featuring tripartite, flat-arched windows. An elliptical window is located to the left of the bay on the ground floor. Thick stucco brackets support a first-floor balcony with cast-iron railings. The first floor of the bay features Tuscan pilasters, responds, and an entablature, while the second floor has attached columns of the Composite order, responds, and an entablature. These entablatures continue as storey bands across the wall planes, terminating in corner quoins. The bay's surface is faced in stucco and the wall surfaces of the first, second, and attic floors are of brown brick. Three round-arched windows with architraves and keystones are located in the attic storey, which also has an entablature, a modillioned cornice, and a blocking course. Stacked party walls are present.
Inside, a three-storeyed, top-lit galleried hall is located at the rear of the building on the first floor. The hall has an arcaded gallery across its second level on the west and south sides, with a staircase wrapping up the east and north walls. The staircase features a plain rail and newels, and turned balusters. A deeply moulded band runs below a coved cornice topped by a light register, which is lit by round-arched windows set between Tuscan pilasters. During a survey in April 1992, the roof hall was undergoing extensive repairs, including the replacement of rotten wood beams with steel joists and the removal of plasterwork and cornices from parts of the north and west walls. The front parlour on the first floor retains its original plaster mouldings and stone mantel.
The property includes railings to the stairs and area. It is reputed to have been owned by the Duke of Clarence.
