57 And 59, Park Street

A pair of houses, numbers 57 and 59 Park Street, Bristol, built as a terrace in 1762 and completed around 1800, with design attributed to Thomas Paty. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with party wall stacks and a pantile mansard roof. It follows a double-depth plan and is in a Late Georgian style, with three storeys and an attic. Each house has a three-window front. The shop fronts are 20th century, but retain 19th-century panelled pilasters to the fascia consoles and doors. The upper pilasters extend to a cornice and parapet, and there is a first-floor sill band. The windows are predominantly 6/6-pane sashes, with paired dormers in the roof. The interior remains uninspected. Park Street suffered significant damage during bombing in the 1940s and was partially rebuilt afterwards in a style replicating the original.
