9 And 10, Fremantle Square

Nos. 9 and 10 Fremantle Square are a pair of attached houses built around 1850, likely designed by William Armstrong. They feature limestone ashlar with stucco sides, rendered ridge and end stacks, a raised party wall, and a hip roof with concrete tiles on the left side and slate on the right. The houses are in the Italianate style and consist of three storeys with a two-window range. They are symmetrically arranged, divided by a vertical recess at the party wall, with two-storey entrance blocks at each end and a rusticated ground floor beneath a plat band. The doorways have six-panelled doors, and the deep ground-floor windows have recessed surrounds. The first-floor windows are adorned with architraves and consoles supporting canopies with openwork balconies on three brackets, both featuring 2/2-pane sash windows. The second-storey windows have corbels beneath their cills and plate-glass sashes. Inside, the shutters are in two sections with three panels on the lower ones. The houses are depicted on Ashmead's 1855 Map of Bristol.
