Description
Oglethorpe House is a building that was originally constructed in the 17th century and later remodeled in the early 19th century. It features uncoursed rubble with stone quoins. The elevation facing Pottergate has three storeys, which are now roughcast. The central entrance has an early 19th-century moulded and shouldered stone case, with a window above on each storey. On either side of the entrance are full-height three-light bays with Tuscan mullions. There is a cornice and parapet, along with a string course between the storeys below the windows. The door is topped with a four-light rectangular fanlight.
The Gallowgate elevation includes a moulded stone string course between the storeys. It has three windows, with late 17th-century or early 18th-century window frames that are now blocked, and late 18th-century windows added on top. One window on the first floor is also blocked. Inside, the house has a good interior that features a fireplace from the 16th or early 17th century. The staircase is illuminated by a lofty window with Gothic glazing bars.
Oglethorpe House, along with No 97 (Clyde House), Hill House, Gates, Gate Piers, and the Wall to Hill House, form a group.
