17B, St Alban Street

No. 17B on St Alban Street is a small house with a shop, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It features painted brickwork and an asbestos-cement slate mansard roof. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with one window. There is a flat-roofed 20th-century dormer above a bow oriel window that has an 8:12:8-pane sash, and a dentil cornice that extends across the full width of the front. The ground floor includes a 19th-century shallow bow three-pane oriel display front, with a part-glazed door to the left, topped by a three-pane transom light, all framed by a frieze and dentil cornice. A grille is present at the basement level. Above the cornice on the first floor, there is a shallow frieze and a further moulded eaves cornice. A chimney stack is located on the right gable. The interior has not been inspected. This building was likely constructed alongside the adjacent No. 17A on the left, which continues as No. 29 Maiden Street.
