No. 10 And Attached Railings

No. 10 is a house, now divided into flats, constructed between 1771 and 1773. It was designed by John Wood the Younger. The front of the building is faced with limestone ashlar, while the plinth to the basement is of rubble, and the rear elevation is not visible. The roof is double pile and has a parapeted mansard of Welsh slate to the front, with two ashlar stacks featuring early clay pots on a coped party wall to the right.

The building is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a three-window front. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows with splayed ovolo moulded architraves, friezes, cornices, and lowered moulded stone sills, featuring wrought iron balconettes supported by cut down console brackets. There are timber blind boxes to each window. The second floor has three six/six-sash windows in ovolo moulded architraves with stone sills, with window guards to the centre and right, and a small single-pane window to the far left. The ground floor has two plate glass sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills to the right, and a six-panel door to the left. The door has flush reeded, fielded, and glazed panels, set within a cyma moulded architrave with console brackets supporting a projecting moulded cornice forming a hood. A wrought iron lamp bracket remains to the frieze of the doorcase. There are two steps leading to a Pennant paved crossover with a wrought iron footscraper. The basement has two six/six-sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills and an unmoulded six-panel door beneath the crossover, with 20th-century area steps nearby. A double dormer with six/six-sashes is also present. Further details include a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation is not visible. The interior was not inspected during listing.

Attached to the building are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on painted limestone bases. Russell Street was developed by John Wood in conjunction with the Assembly Rooms and the east end of Rivers Street, on land bought from Thomas and Daniel Omer in 1768.
