Strand Buildings is a terrace of fifteen houses built in 1822, located on Coronation Road in Southville, Bristol. The buildings are constructed with a black render over brick, with limestone dressings, a brick party wall stacks, and pantile valley roofs. Mansard roofs are visible on numbers 166-170. The architectural style is late Georgian. Each house is three storeys high with a basement, and has a single-window range. Number 156 has an additional attic storey, while numbers 166-170 have dormers. The buildings are characterised by pilaster strips to the party walls, first-floor plat and sill bands, a deep cornice, and a parapet. The left-hand doorcases feature open pediments supported by attached columns with pedestals, and include fanlights. Number 170 is set back, with a two-storey entrance block. Number 156 has a late 19th century brick two-storey canted bay, and a side entrance porch constructed of rusticated ashlar with a Doric doorcase. The windows are 8/8-pane sashes with fine bars, and seven stepped voussoirs with dropped keys are present. Numbers 166 and 167 incorporate first-floor balconies and French windows. The interior features a dogleg staircase from the entrance hall, semicircular rear stair windows on the half-landings, flat moulded cornices and ceiling roses in both the front and back ground-floor rooms, and fielded shutters. Attached front garden walls, with Pennant saddleback copings and octagonal piers, are also included. Strand Buildings was the first terrace constructed after the opening of the New Cut, and is depicted on Ashmead’s 1828 Map of Bristol.
