36, Milsom Street

36 Milsom Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from around 1762, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. The elevations for the buildings on Milsom Street were approved by the Council in 1761, and it is possibly designed by Thomas Jelly. The shopfront was created by J Foster in 1907 but has since been replaced.

The building features a front made of limestone ashlar, while the rear is constructed of ashlar and rubble. It has a double pile parapeted roof with a mansard style at the front, raised to a full third floor at the rear, covered with Welsh slate at the front and a flat felt roof at the rear. Two ashlar stacks rise from the coped party wall on the right, with the rear stack having early clay pots.

The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, a basement, and a three-window front. The first floor has three six-over-six horned sash windows in cyma moulded architraves that rise from flat sills, which break forward from a band course over the ground floor. This floor features friezes and cornices, with a pediment at the center. The second floor has three six-over-six sash windows in eared cyma moulded architraves that rise from stone sills. The ground floor has a 20th-century shopfront designed in a late 18th-century style, featuring a central bow window with glazing bars, flanked by six-panel and glazed doors set within a surround of fluted pilaster strips, topped with a frieze and dentil cornice. There are no openings to the basement. The building also has two single dormers with six-over-six sashes, a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. A moulded lead hopperhead and part-lead downpipe are located on the right side. The rear elevation is partially visible and includes plate glass and glazing bar horned sashes on the upper floors. The interior has not been inspected.
