No.32 and Attached Railings

No. 32 is a house, now flats, dating to approximately 1790-1793, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries, designed by John Palmer. It is constructed primarily of limestone ashlar to the front, with rubble to the basement and rear. The roof is a double-pile mansard, covered with concrete tiles, and has coped gable walls and two ashlar stacks with some early clay pots on the right-hand side. A staircase is located to the front.

The building is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a three-window front. The first floor has two 19th-century plate glass sash windows with horns in plain reveals to the right, and a six/nine-pane sash window in a plain reveal to the left. The second floor mirrors the first, with similar plate glass sashes to the right and a six/six-pane sash to the left. The ground floor has two similar plate glass sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills to the right, and a six-panel door with reeded, raised and fielded panels with glazed upper panels, set within a cast iron doorcase featuring a pedimented Doric design. There are two pennant steps leading to a crossover paved with pennant, incorporating a cast iron footscraper. To the left of the door is a small four-pane window with a splayed reveal and a guard of two wrought iron bars. The basement has two six/six-pane sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills, with area steps and a 20th-century wrought iron handrail. There are two dormers with six/six-pane sashes. The exterior features a band course above the ground floor, sill bands to the first and second floor windows, a frieze, a moulded eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation includes early glazing bar sashes with wrought iron balconettes to the first floor.

The interior of the house has a Chinese Chippendale balustrade on the second half landing of the staircase.

Attached to the property are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on limestone bases.

The building was part of an incomplete development of St James's Square, on land leased in 1790. Construction of the upper part of Park Street commenced to the design of John Palmer and continued after 1808 to the design of John Pinch. Previously, Park Street was terminated by All Saints' Chapel and was intended to be extended north-westwards as Regent Place.
