57, Queen Square

No. 57 Queen Square is an attached house, now used as offices, built around 1833 by Henry Rumley. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with party wall stacks and a pantile roof, featuring a double-depth plan and designed in a Neoclassical style. It stands three storeys tall with an attic and has a two-window range. This house is part of a regular terrace of similar buildings.

The right-hand doorway is notable, with a banded ground floor that leads to a band adorned with panelled pilasters. Above, there are pilasters with carved anthemion capitals, a frieze, a cornice, and an attic storey with a string course. The doorcase features fluted pilasters, an entablature, a cornice, a rectangular fanlight, and a four-panel door with roundels. The ground-floor window is set in shallow recessed surrounds, with consoles supporting pedimented lintels that have acroteria and wreaths above the first-floor windows. The remaining windows are plain, with 6/6-pane sashes on the lower floors and 3/3-pane sashes in the attic.

Inside, the building has been extensively refurbished, featuring an elliptical hall arch that leads to an open dogleg winder stair with stick balusters and column newels. The interior also includes cornices with guilloche and vine leaves, panelled shutters, and six-panel doors. This house was built following the destruction of Queen Square during the Reform Bill riots.
