Description
No. 2 Queen's Parade Place is a house built in the mid to late 18th century, with 20th-century additions. It features a high limestone ashlar plinth and rear, with incised render on the first floor front and right return. The roof is slate with stone ridges and a moulded ridge stack located to the right of center. The building has an L-plan layout, with a hip-roofed single-depth range facing Queen's Parade Place and a square-plan, three-storey pavilion-roofed block at the rear left.
The exterior is two storeys high with a three-window front. It has a coped parapet and a cornice that returns to the right. The plinth steps down to the right and has two horizontal slit windows flanking a fixed four-pane window. The six/six-pane sash windows on the first floor front have painted raised freestone surrounds with forward frames, and there is one similar window on the right return. The corners are rounded for approximately 2 meters above the pavement.
At the rear, there is a ground floor platband with a blind window to the left of center, above a horned three/three-pane sash window with a 20th-century grille. To the right, there is a six/six-pane sash window with a balconette above a horned eight/eight-pane sash and a 20th-century grille, along with a blocked door at right of center. A three-storey single window block at a right angle forms a courtyard or car park, with an eight/eight-pane sash on the second floor, a six/six-pane sash on the first floor, and a slightly higher ground floor platband with two 20th-century windows on the ground floor. The right-hand part of the ground floor features two engaged Tuscan columns, which likely once flanked an open portico.
Historically, the building is thought to be a remodelling of a garden house that was originally built behind No. 21 Queen Square.
