Description
Dover’s House, originally known as Dover’s Court, is an early 18th-century town house, likely built around 1720 to 1730. It is a fine example of the Georgian style. The house is constructed of ashlar stone, featuring a band above the ground floor and quoins. A cornice and parapet with moulded coping define the top, with the coping ramped to the sides. The tiled roof is punctuated by corniced end chimneys and two gabled dormers. The facade has casement windows. Five windows are arranged in a 2-1-2 grouping, featuring glazing bar sashes with keystones and a moulded cornice on the first floor. A central six-panel door is sheltered by a bracketted stone hood. The rear, garden front, has Venetian windows. The interior rooms retain contemporary cornices and panelling with dadoes. The house was formerly the residence of F. L. Griggs between 1876 and 1938.
