Description

Albion House is a pair of mid-19th century houses located at the end of a row on St Mary Street in Weymouth, which also includes shops. The building is rendered with slate roofs and has a return facade to St Alban Street, incorporating a one-bay unit that was once a separate property, returning to Maiden Street.

The exterior features three storeys, with the front displaying one window above four and the return showing four above one, all of which are sash windows. Number 34 has a two-storey bow oriel window with eight, twelve, and eight panes above plain sashes, and a twelve-pane window at the second floor set in reveals with stone sills, above deep eight-pane sashes that were likely originally twelve or fifteen panes. The 19th-century shop front has a fascia and cornice that returns around a quadrant corner, supported by a shaped corbel projection, continuing across the St Alban Street frontage.

Between the first and second-floor windows of Number 35, there is a raised panel with the words 'ALBION HOUSE' in bold sunk Roman lettering. The moulded modillion cornice with a blocking course and parapet also returns to St Alban Street. This frontage includes a blind light and three twelve-pane windows at the second floor on a plain sill band, along with a blind light and three plain sashes below. The ground floor features three blind lights beneath the fascia. The first two floors are rusticated, with a return pilaster on the main frontage.

To the right, there is an additional bay with a hipped slate roof above a twelve-pane window at the second floor, two at the first floor, and a wide segmental-headed twelve-light fixed window at the ground floor. In Maiden Street, the frontage includes a large arched light with triple radial bars and various other glazing-bar sashes, either twelve or sixteen-paned, across three floors. The range continues with a large sixteen-pane and modified sash above a flat-roofed extension behind Number 34. The interiors have not been inspected.
