7-9, North Parade Buildings

Nos. 7-9 North Parade Buildings comprise a row of three houses, now offices, dating to 1753. They were likely designed by Thomas Jelly. The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar with pantile roofs. The plan is double depth, with No. 7 having five bays and a central entrance, while Nos. 8 and 9 have three bays each, with entrances to the left.

The three-storey buildings include an attic and a basement. Quoins mark the ends of the block, and a platband runs along the first floor. The entrance doorways have Corinthian columns (Nos. 7 and 8) or pilasters (No. 9, which has a simpler, mid-19th century doorway). They feature six-panel doors with raised and fielded panels and a rectangular light above. Windows on the first floor have alternate triangular pediments and straight cornices. All windows have architraves and six/six sash windows of a late 18th-century style, with the exception of those in the basements of Nos. 8 and 9, which retain their original sashes. Wrought iron area railings are present. The building has a dentil cornice, a mansard roof with two flat-topped dormers to each house, and ashlar stacks with decorative pots. The return elevation is of rubble construction with more modern features.

According to reports, No. 7 contains a fine oak and mahogany staircase, prominently visible from the upper levels.

The buildings were erected on land previously occupied by a garden granted to William Galloway, an apothecary who had held the land since 1738, and they do not appear on a Kingston Estate map of 1750. They were described as "new built" in 1753, and their designs were likely approved by John Wood.
