Abstract: |
In February 2008 ASC undertook historic building recording of 67 High Street, Harpenden, Herts, in order to inform proposals for the refurbishment of the building, and conversion from residential use. The building is Grade II Listed, and probably dates from the 17th century. 67 High Street is a two- storey building constructed largely of brick, under a tiled roof. As originally built it had one room on each floor. From the presence of a large brick chimney stack shared with no. 65, and external features on the wall shared with no. 69, there is evidence to suggest that it was constructed as an infill between the adjoining buildings. During the latter half of the 19th century it formed a single unit with 65 High Street, the two buildings being physically connected on both floors. In the late 19th or early 20th century brick extensions were built to the rear of both buildings. Later in the 20th century the two buildings were again in separate use: at that time the present stairs were probably installed. 67 High Street retains a number of interesting features. In addition to the chimney stack, the south wall of the first floor has a section of plank and muntin panelling at its east end, and a section of painted plaster at its west end. Both were recorded: The latter will be subject to specialist examination in due course. |
