Salisbury Museum

The Salisbury Museum occupies an 18th-century house that was largely demolished in the 19th century. In 1863, the facade was rebuilt in a Tudor-style using Victorian brick by the architect John Harding. Part of the original building remains. The building is two storeys and an attic, with a tiled roof to the left side featuring a coved cornice, a 19th-century gable with stone coping to the right, and a lower, large gable over the museum entrance, which has diamond-pattern brickwork. The surviving 18th-century section has flush framed sash windows, while the Victorian portion has stone mullioned and transomed casements. The main entrance features a large, three-centre arched double door set in a moulded stone surround with panelled spandrels and a drip mould that rises to contain a panel above the door.

The main museum hall contains elaborate cast iron roof trusses. A significant circular room from 1812 remains, with a domed ceiling featuring elaborate plasterwork, a coffered soffit, and pilasters articulating the walls. The plasterwork was executed by Italian craftsmen who had generations of experience in Salisbury. One original mahogany door, of substantial height and 4 inches thick, remains. Window openings are present despite the removal of the windows and fireplaces.

The building forms a group with Nos 32 to 42 (even).
