Description
Nos. 74 and 75 are two town houses that have been converted into offices. They were originally built in 1799 by builder George Richards but were rebuilt in a similar style around 1970. The exterior is made of reconstituted stone ashlar, and the roof is concealed by a parapet. The layout was altered during the rebuilding, but it still includes a carriageway on the right side. The buildings are three stories tall and have a total of seven windows across the front. No. 74, on the left, features a symmetrical three-window arrangement with a window replacing the central doorway. No. 75 has a regular four-window front with a replica doorcase on the left and an original elliptical-arched carriage doorway with granite dressings on the right, along with original chamfered granite quoins. Both buildings have first-floor sill strings, moulded cornices at the parapets, and horned sash windows with glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected. The properties also feature original wrought-iron railings with spear-headed finials and turned stanchions. No. 75 was listed on January 8, 1971.
