Description
No. 55 Queen Square is an attached house built in the early 18th century. It features stucco over brick with limestone dressings, gable stacks, and a pantile roof, following a double-depth plan in the early Georgian style. The building stands three storeys tall with an attic and has a three-window range. Its nearly symmetrical front includes rusticated quoins at the boxed eaves. The doorway is adorned with an impressive shell hood supported by acanthus brackets and features a four-panel door. The windows have plate-glass sashes in exposed frames, and there is a wide 20th-century dormer. Inside, there is a central lateral dogleg winder stair, two-panel doors with H-L hinges, and fireplaces with eared surrounds. Historically, Queen Square was constructed between 1701 and 1727, featuring varied width leases and similar designs. No. 55 survived the destruction of much of the west side during the 1831 Reform Bill riots.
