Description
No. 25 Union Passage is a shop with accommodation above, built around 1806. It was likely overseen by City Architect John Palmer, but it features earlier elevations from about 1791 by Thomas Baldwin. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, painted on the first floor, and has a Welsh slate roof that is mostly hidden from view.
The structure is three storeys tall with an attic and has one window. It features an early 19th-century canted shopfront with three sections across and three sections down, along with a door to the left. The upper windows are six-over-six sashes set in plain reveals. The building has a cornice, a parapet, and a mansard roof.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this house appears to be separate from Nos. 20-24, which may be due to the stepped building line caused by the sloping ground. No. 25 is visually isolated because of the 20th-century redevelopment of the adjacent Nos. 26-28. This building was part of the improvement scheme for the city center following the Bath Improvement Act of 1789. Union Passage is a street that has existed since the Saxon period; it was previously known as Cox Lane and is depicted on Smith's Map of 1588.
