76, The Hundred

This is an early 19th-century building, part of a terrace. It is two storeys and has an attic, and its elevation is noticeably lower than the adjacent numbers 70, 72, and 74. The roof is modern and tiled, with a moulded eaves cornice. A dormer window features a casement. The exterior is stuccoed with incised lines. The first floor has two sash windows in shallow reveals, retaining their original glazing bars; window blinds are fitted. There is one window on the ground floor. A door is positioned on the east side, with an associated doorcase comprised of three-quarter engaged fluted columns, with small moulded capitals that terminate in conical ends. A moulded frieze and cornice is present, decorated with delicate pairs of cut brackets that project forward over the columns. Four steps lead to the door, with contemporary cast iron railings featuring a diamond and circle pattern and scrolled handrails.

Nos. 47 to 55 (odd) and 70 to 84 (even) form a group with the other listed buildings in Palmerston Street.
