Description
Albion House is a 19th-century building located on South Street in Wincanton. It features an ashlar facade and has a flat roof behind a parapet. The structure consists of three storeys and four bays, designed as a continuation of, but not identical to, the nearby buildings at No 16 and 17 Market Place. The shopfront, likely from the late 19th century, includes a heavily moulded dentilled hood supported by console brackets, Victorian-style pilasters, and to the left, circular cast iron columns that mark a recessed doorway. On the right, there is a small shop front with a part-glazed door in a semi-circular opening. The upper floors have 12-pane sash windows in plain openings, separated by a band course, and the cornice differs from that of the adjoining building. The interior has not been seen.
