York Buildings (Terrace)

No. 54 York Buildings is a house in a terrace, built around 1785. The exterior is rendered with a tiled roof and features three storeys, an attic, and a basement. At the second floor, there is a hipped tile dormer with a two-light small-pane casement above two nine-pane sash windows. The first floor showcases a large tripartite sash window with eight, twelve, and eight panes, complete with mullions and pilasters, a base, and a scrolled head, all framed within a moulded architrave and topped with a moulded cornice on consoles. The ground floor has a 20th-century symmetrical display front with a full-width sloping fascia, featuring a glazed door on each side under transom lights, accessed by five steps. The basement has two windows behind a decorative wrought-iron railing. The building also has a moulded eaves cornice and a raised and coped party wall to the left, sharing a stack with No. 53. Originally, the frontage would have been similar to that of No. 52, but it has been rendered and lost its original ground floor detail. The interior has not been inspected.
