75-89, PARK STREET

This is a terrace of eight houses, now shops, located on Park Street in Bristol. The original construction began in 1762 and was completed around 1800, designed by Thomas Paty. The buildings were largely rebuilt around 1950 after being severely damaged during the Second World War, replicating the original appearance. Constructed of limestone ashlar with party wall stacks, the terrace now has pantile mansards.

The terrace follows a double-depth plan and is in a mid-Georgian style. Each house stands three storeys high with an attic, and features a three-window range. The terrace is stepped, incorporating pilasters, a cornice, and a parapet. Modern shop fronts occupy the ground floor, with the exception of No.81, which has a mid-19th century shop front featuring three semicircular arches supported by round columns with Romanesque carved capitals. Decorative rosettes are set within the archivolts, with rails connecting the arches. Nos. 87 and 89 have a panelled ground-floor pilaster and fascia, with cast-iron stanchions supporting plate glass windows. Most windows are 6/6-pane sashes, although some are plate glass. The interior has not been inspected. The terrace is included on the list for its group value.
