Rutland House

Rutland House is a house, later converted into flats, dating from around 1760. It was remodelled in 1974. The house is rendered with limestone dressings and has a slate mansard roof. It follows a double-depth plan and is built in a Mid Georgian style. The three-story facade has a symmetrical design, with rusticated pilaster strips extending to a cornice that returns at the ends. The main doorway is distinguished by Tuscan columns with vermiculated Gibbs blocks, an entablature with triglyphs, an open modillion pediment, and a draped medallion in the tympanum. Above this is a rectangular overlight with metal glazing bars, and a half-glazed six-panel door. Full-height outer canted bays feature cornices and parapets, containing a three-light six/six-pane sash window; a three/six-pane sash window on the third floor; and six/six-pane sash windows to the centre. There are also three dormers in the roof. The basement bridge to the entrance has been removed. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
