Picton House

Piction House is a town house, built around 1825 and restored and converted into flats in 1988. It is located on Wellington Parade in Gloucester. The building is constructed of ashlar to the front, brick to the rear, with a slate roof, and consists of a symmetrical block with a rear wing to the right.

The front facade is monumental in style, with a symmetrical arrangement of three bays and a slight projection to the central bay. The ground floor has a recessed, plain entrance porch with a moulded cornice and carved brackets above the doorway. Each side bay has a sash window with 3x4 panes, set within a moulded architrave. A moulded string course runs between the pilasters at window sill level. The first floor also features sash windows with 3x4 panes, the central one framed by a floating cornice supported on brackets. The side bays have sashes in openings with eared architraves and projecting sills. A giant Roman Doric pilaster order frames the facade, with pilasters at each end and the outer pilaster of each pair clasping the corners. These pilasters support a crowning entablature and a parapet with piers and a moulded capping.

Inside, the staircase in the entrance hall has open treads, stick balusters, and a swept handrail. The building is believed to contain other original features.
