No.35 And Attached Railings

No.35 is a house, dating to approximately 1790-1793, and later altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was designed by John Palmer. The front of the building is faced with limestone ashlar, the basement with rubble, and the rear with limestone ashlar and rubble. It has a Welsh slate, double-pile, mansard roof with a coped gable wall and two ashlar stacks, incorporating some early clay pots to the right. A staircase is located at the rear.

The house is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a three-window range. The first floor has three grouped 19th-century plate glass sash windows with horns, narrower on either side, set in plain reveals with continuous stone sills. The second floor also features three similar sash windows. The ground floor has two similar sash windows to the right and a six-panel door with flush and raised and fielded panels, and two upper glazed panels, with a doctor knocker incorporated into a pedimented Doric doorcase. There is one step to a pennant-paved crossover, with a wrought iron footscraper and a pair of 20th-century gates. The basement has two 19th-century plate glass sash windows, a 20th-century door and window in an ashlar infill under the crossover, and 20th-century area steps. There is one double dormer with plate glass horned sashes. The exterior detail includes a band course above the ground floor, a frieze, a moulded eaves cornice and a coped parapet. The rear elevation shows plate glass sashes and a small single-storey ashlar extension.

The interior has not been inspected.

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

The house was part of an incomplete development of St James’s Square, built on land leased from Sir Peter Rivers Gay. Work commenced on Park Street to the design of John Palmer, then continued, but was not completed, to the design of John Pinch after 1808. The street originally ended at All Saints’ Chapel, with a planned extension extending northwest as Regent Place.
