Description
No. 1 Brock Street is a house built between 1754 and 1759, designed by John Wood the Elder and completed by John Wood the Younger. It stands on the south corner of the Circus and Brock Street. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with a hipped slate mansard roof and moulded stacks to the party walls. The plan is double depth.
The exterior is three storeys with an attic and basement, featuring a five-window range to the front and a three-window range to the return. The elaborate facade combines superimposed orders of Roman Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns with plain shafts, supporting entablatures and a moulded coped parapet. Piers are positioned above the columns and pierced by horizontal ovals above the windows. A triglyph frieze embellishes the ground floor. The windows are mostly six/six pane sashes, with nine/nine panes and tall balconettes to the first floor. The Brock Street entrance facade is simpler in design. The parapet to the left sweeps down to the returned second-floor cornice. Cornices are returned without entablatures, and the windows have moulded architraves; some to the centre and right are blind. The ground-floor cornice widens to a mutule cornice around an enclosed porch with Roman Doric columns in antis. The interior has not been inspected.
