Nos 1-29 and Attached Railings

Nos. 1-29 and the attached railings form a terrace of buildings that make up one half of Brunswick Square, constructed between 1825 and 1827, with later minor alterations. The architects were Amon Wilds and C.A. Busby. The buildings are in a Classical style, built with stucco over brick and rubble, incorporating moulded strings and cornices. The ground floors are rusticated, and some rear elevations retain the original bungarouche, a covering of beach pebbles. The terrace has an L-shape, with a short northern range connecting to Nos 2-8 Brunswick Place and No. 1 abutting Nos 7-19 Brunswick Terrace.

The buildings are three windows wide and extend over four or five storeys, with a basement level. Most have bow fronts, though Nos. 26-29 have flat fronts and Nos. 12 and 7 have narrower frontages with full-height curved bays. Original cast-iron balconies are present on the first floor. The detailing varies; the earliest properties, Nos. 1-16, have a diverse range of facades that are more consistently repeated across the terrace. Nos. 26-29 feature giant Corinthian pilasters and a balustraded parapet. The ground floors display flat facades between numbers 17 and 25, while others feature balustraded parapets and Ionic columnar doorcases. Giant engaged Ionic and Corinthian columns are generally used elsewhere. Numerous buildings incorporate an attic storey with triangular caps to diminishing pilasters. The windows are mainly sash windows, with surviving blind boxes. Recessed doorways are framed by columnar doorcases, and the variety of doors, mostly half-glazed, are accessed by flights of steps. Cast-iron railings return from the entrances along the street frontage, incorporating gates leading to the areas. The composer Roger Quilter was born at No. 4 on November 1st, 1877.
