61, Emma Place

This is a manor office designed in 1836 by George Wightwick for the Second Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. The building is constructed of stucco with stucco detailing, and the roof is hidden behind a stucco parapet featuring a moulded entablature. It is an example of the Neo-Classical style characteristic of Foulston and Wightwick in the early to mid 19th century. The rectangular building has symmetrical two-storey elevations with a three-bay front. Giant pilasters divide the bays, and rusticated quoin strips mark the corners. A squat triangular pediment is above the central bay, and there are squat blind first-floor windows above the tall ground-floor windows. The ground floor windows are original hornless sashes with glazing bars, with a blind window to the right, all within moulded architraves. A similar window is above the central doorway, which has a moulded hood on consoles. It features a panelled overdoor and a pair of glazed and panelled doors. The interior has not been inspected. The building has group value with numbers 39-48 and 49-54 on Emma Place.
