18-26, Gloucester Street

This is a terrace of five houses at 18-26 Gloucester Street, Bristol, built in the late 18th century. They are located on the east side of St Paul. The buildings are constructed of brick with limestone dressings, brick stacks, and a pantile mansard roof, following a double-depth plan. The terrace is three storeys high, with a basement and attic, and has a seven-window front, with two windows each on numbers 22 and 24, and one window on the others. It is designed in a mid-Georgian style, featuring a stepped facade with a ramped cornice and parapet.

The rusticated semicircular doorways have fanlights and cornices resting on deep consoles. Ground-floor canted bays incorporate 6/6-pane sashes and segmental-headed hatches adjacent to pavement openings. Upper-floor windows have arched heads with five stepped voussoirs above 6/6-pane sashes. Number 26 has a Venetian window on the first floor and a tripartite window on the second. Attic dormers feature sashes. The end houses have side entrances with symmetrical facades and semicircular sash windows above large, pedimented doors with fanlights.

The interiors were completely restored around 1980, resulting in the loss of most original features.
