Description
No. 3, Long Acre is an early 19th-century townhouse that was converted in 1910 by the architect M.A. Green to become part of the Bath Technical Institute. The house is constructed of painted limestone ashlar, with a rubble stone right return, and has a double-pitched slate mansard roof. The roof has been partly replaced and is partly covered with tiles, featuring a central dormer window and moulded stacks to the right return.
The three-storey building with attic has a double depth plan. The south front includes a coped parapet, cornice, second floor sill band, and a ground floor plat band. It contains two six-by-six pane sash windows of diminishing proportion on the upper floors, including the attic; the ground floor windows have been replaced with 20th-century glazing. A six-pane front door with an over-light featuring margin panes is located to the left of the windows.
The interior retains 19th-century carpentry, including doors, surrounds, cupboards, and skirting boards, along with early 19th-century decorative fire surrounds made from marble and wood.
The townhouse, dating to circa 1820, was formerly part of Veysey's Coach Factory, before its conversion to the Bath Technical Institute in 1910. No. 3, Long Acre is a good example of a substantially intact early 19th-century townhouse that makes a positive contribution to the historic interest of the buildings along this main approach road to Bath.
