Description
34 Alban Square is a simple classical terrace building dating from the 19th century. It features two stories with scribed render and roughcast frontages, complemented by rusticated quoins and end pilaster strips. The building has a three-storey pyramidal hipped roof and a pavilion at No 37, with slate roofs, wide boarded eaves, and cement render chimney stacks.
The frontages of Nos 32 to 34 and 37 have two windows each, while No 35 has one window and No 36 has three windows that are offset. The first-floor windows are typically 12-pane sash windows, except for Nos 34 and 35. The ground floor of Nos 33 and 26 also features 12-pane sash windows, while No 37 has 9-pane sash windows on the second floor and tripartite sashes on the ground floor. The windows are adorned with voussoir lintels and lugged architraves.
Notable architectural details include a cross gable with ornamental bargeboards and a finial above the two-storey bay at No 34, and a splayed bay at No 35. The terrace has modern shop fronts, arched entrances with architraves at Nos 33 and 34, and 6-panel doors with fanlights at Nos 33, 34, and 36. No 36 also features a classical doorcase.
The building continues with a three-window roughcast front on Bridge Street, maintaining a similar window treatment.
