Description
Dunraven Arcade is a terraced group of three-storey buildings, constructed in the early 19th century with later alterations. The frontages are classical, featuring scribed and plain stucco, an overall moulded cornice, and a plain entablature. The buildings at Nos 22 to 26 have balustraded parapets. Each end and bay of Dunraven Arcade has pilaster strips, with Grecian capitals on the latter. There is an overall cill band on the second floor, and also on the first floor of Nos 26 and 30. The roofs are slate, with a steeper pitch on Nos 22 to 26, and an attic storey on No 28. The chimney stacks are made of rubble and brick.
Nos 26 and 30 have three-window fronts, No 28 has a two-window front, while Nos 22 and 24 each have one-window fronts. The first-floor windows have bracketed lintels, except for No 28, which features architraves on both floors. The outer bays of No 26 have pedimented bracket lintels. No 28 retains small-pane sash glazing, and sash windows are also present at Nos 22 and 24, while Nos 26 and 30 have a mix of sash and modern windows. The buildings have modern shop fronts throughout, and a drum clock projects from No 28 on ornate iron brackets. The left side of the arcade is exposed due to the demolition of a London house.
