Description

A terrace of thirteen houses forming 32-44 Caledonia Place, built in 1788 and likely designed by John Eveleigh. The terrace was altered in 1922. It is constructed of limestone ashlar, with party wall stacks and slate mansard roofs, employing a double-depth plan. The architectural style is Late Georgian. Each house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window front.

The terrace was originally composed with end and middle houses set forward, featuring pediments, first-floor sill bands, and pediments over the central first-floor windows. Articulation is provided by pilaster strips to a cornice and parapet, with rusticated detailing to the ground floor and a plat band. The outer doorways have panelled pilasters, entablature blocks with foliate medallions, open pediments, and semicircular-arched doorways. Nos. 32-37 have stellate fanlights with plate glass, while the others have six-panel and three-panel doors with raised lower panels. The ground-floor windows have incised voussoirs and tall keys, above 6/6-pane and 3/6-pane sash windows on the second floor. Dormers are present above. No. 32 has had its pediment removed.

The left-hand end pair were rebuilt as one house in 1922 to create a bank. This building features a ground-floor frieze of festoons and a cornice that extends around the return. A bowed porch is topped with two pairs of Temple of the Winds capitals and a two-leaf door. The return elevation has an arcade of three large semicircular-arched windows with attached columns, moulded archivolts, volute keys, plinths, aprons with volutes to Greek key cills, a wide panel above, and four plain second-floor windows separated by a square panel with an oak leaf wreath and the monogram NUP 1922. Flaming urns adorn the corners.

The interior was not inspected.

Attached cast-iron front basement area railings and gates feature bud heads.

The terrace forms an important group with Nos. 1-13 The Mall opposite, and with Nos. 14-34 West Mall and 1-35 Caledonia Place, creates a uniquely formal square for Clifton.
