Description
A terrace of eleven houses on Devon Square, built in the mid-19th century. The houses are constructed of painted stucco with rusticated quoins, and have continuous slate roofs with wide bracketed eaves cornices and moulded stacks to the party walls. They are built in an Italianate style, and have a double-depth plan.
The terrace is three storeys high and features a 21-window range with a fenestration pattern of 1:8:3:8:1. A continuous sill band is present on the second floor, along with a first-floor band and plinth. The ranges at the centre and ends are stepped forward, with projecting three-storey gabled porch wings on the returns. The terminal bays, which are single-window wide, have horizontal glazing bars to 3-light 2/2-pane sash windows with semicircular arches to each light on the second floor. First-floor windows are tripartite with moulded pediments on consoles and cast-iron balconies. Similar glazing is found in the ground-floor windows, which have rusticated bands to the jambs under plain pediments.
Entrances are located in the porch wings and feature single-light windows with rusticated jambs and voussoirs to semicircular arches, surmounted by fanlights over two-panelled doors. The four houses on either side of the central section are two-window ranges, articulated by pilasters with moulded capitals. Second-floor windows have roll-moulded arrisses and segmental arches to 3/6-pane sashes. First-floor windows have horizontal glazing bars to 2/2-pane sashes, bracketed sills, moulded aprons, and architraves with cornices supported by consoles. Tripartite ground-floor windows have banded rusticated jambs and plain shallow pediments. The doorcases are similar to those of the porch wings. No. 19, located in the centre of the terrace, is a pedimented three-window range with a balcony on the first floor. The interior was not inspected.
The terrace represents the most imposing section of Devon Square, part of a wider development undertaken for the Courtenays between approximately 1840 and 1860 to the designs of J.W. Rowell. No. 19 Devon Square was initially listed on 22 March 1983.
