Description
17, 18, and 19 Warrender Park Terrace is a five-storey tenement building with a basement and a mansard attic, designed by Edward Calvert in 1880. It features five bays and incorporates baronial architectural details, forming part of a terrace. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked pink sandstone, accented with polished ashlar dressings. Notable features include a string course at the first floor, a corbel table at the fourth floor, crowstepped gables, and stop-chamfered reveals.
The entrance elevation showcases architraved doorways with recessed polished granite colonnettes and foliate capitals in the second and fourth bays. There are single windows flanking the doorways on either side, deep-set panelled doors, and plate glass fanlights. Above the doorways, single windows are present in the second bay, with a dormerhead at the fourth floor next to a truncated wallhead stack. The fourth bay has bipartite windows above, and the fourth floor dormerhead is linked to the wallhead stack. The central third bay features a simpler roll-moulded doorway with a panelled door and plate glass fanlight, along with bipartite windows above and a crowstepped dormerhead at the fourth floor linked to the wallhead stack. The ground floor openings in the second, third, and fourth bays have relieving arches. The outer left and right bays are advanced and include bipartite windows with single lights on the returns, cornices above the ground and first floors, a dividing string course above the second floor, a bracketed cornice above the third floor, and tripartite windows at the fourth floor. A ciphered panel is set above the second floor between the third and fourth bays. The building features plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, a coped wallhead stack that is partly rendered, coped mutual stacks, stone finials, and beak skewputts.
The interiors were not seen in 1991. Decorative cast-iron railings are present at the basement and along the steps leading up to the entrances.
