27, 28 AND 29, STALL STREET

27, 28, and 29 Stall Street are shops with accommodation above, built around 1810 with 20th-century additions. They may have been designed by John Palmer. The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar, which is now painted, and the roof is not visible from the street. The plan is double depth with rear extensions, and No. 29 is a corner block with Beau Street.

The exterior features three storeys and a full attic, with sill-bands, a lintel, and a cornice over the second floor, and a cornice and parapet at the third attic floor. The corner is splayed. There are three windows facing Stall Street on the upper floors, one of which is blind on the second and third floors and has feigned lateral bars. There are also three windows on Beau Street, with the first one being blind. All windows are glazing-bar sashes in plain reveals, with eight-over-eight panes facing Stall Street and six-over-six panes on Beau Street. Nos. 27 and 28 have late 20th-century shopfronts, while No. 29 features a shopfront from around 1900 with a deep fascia and slight Art Nouveau details on the thin mullions of the windows. A stone stack with pots is present, but otherwise, the roof is not visible.

The interiors have not been inspected. Historically, the widening of Stall Street was approved as part of the Bath Improvement Act of 1789, with designs by Thomas Baldwin. John Palmer, the City Architect, was noted in Council Minutes from March 20, 1797, as preparing plans for setting back the frontages in Stall Street. The treatment of the corner resembles Palmer's work in New Bond Street, suggesting this may be his design. The buildings are part of the Neoclassical remodelling of the city centre.
