Description
12 and 13 Old Bond Street are a pair of end-of-terrace houses with shops, built around 1760 and featuring 19th and 20th-century additions. The buildings are constructed from limestone ashlar and topped with a slate roof. They have a deep double-depth layout typical of John Wood's domestic terraces, with a plain ridge roof and a 20th-century bay set back to the left.
The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with seven windows. All windows are twelve-pane sashes set in moulded architraves. The first-floor windows have cornice hoods, with a triangular pediment above bay four and segmental pediments above bays two and six. The first-floor bays one to four feature moulded sills on scroll brackets, and there is a cast iron balconette at bay two. Bays five to seven have slightly deeper sashes with plain sills. The buildings also have three dormers.
No. 12 boasts a well-preserved late 19th-century projecting shopfront with canted display windows and a central door, which was added in 1934 by Rolfe and Peto. This shopfront includes deep transom lights, a fascia, and a cornice. No. 13 features a 20th-century shopfront from 1960, designed by Rolfe and Crozier-Cole. Above the shopfronts, there is a modillion cornice with a blocking course and parapet, which returns to the left over plain walling and the projecting bay. The unit has end and central ridge stacks and a higher parapet level compared to the adjoining buildings on the right.
The interiors have not been inspected, but Green's work illustrates a fine plaster ceiling in No. 12, featuring a large ceiling rose surrounded by a fan or velarium with attached garlands, and mentions contemporary fireplaces. Historically, this part of the terrace faces a paved pedestrian way. Bladud's Bank moved to No. 12 from Bladud's Buildings in 1794 and later became Somersetshire (Stuckey's) Bank from 1841 to 1859.
