Numbers 14-17 And Attached Area Railings

Numbers 14-17 are a terrace of four houses built between 1789 and 1820 by Daniel Hague. Constructed from limestone ashlar with brick stacks and a slate mansard roof, these houses exhibit a late Georgian style and have a double-depth plan. Each house has three storeys, a basement, and an attic, arranged in a three-window range. The terrace is part of a formal composition that is slightly interrupted by St Paul's Church, with the end houses projecting slightly. Number 14 features an ashlar attic, a rusticated ground floor, pilasters extending from the first-floor plat band to a modillion cornice and parapet. The right-hand doorcases are adorned with Ionic columns and modillion pediments, batswing fanlights, and six-panel doors. The ground-floor windows have rusticated voussoirs, while the upper windows have plain voussoirs and six-over-six pane sashes. The left gable includes a central semicircular-arched stair window and three lunettes above the cornice. The interior has been completely rebuilt behind the facade. The houses also feature spear railings to the basement areas and are noted as part of Bristol's "most complete and beautiful square."
