Abstract: |
This report is based on a survey of the two houses carried out on 27/3/96 and 1/4/96. The survey was requested by Delcia Keate, English Heritage Buildings at Risk Coordinator. This followed a chance visit to the site by Delcia Keate with Robin Harper, Senior Conservation Officer, Camden Council. Both were alarmed at what appeared to be unauthorised works being carried out to buildings listed grade II and II*. The two houses were built as part of a single development c 1720-1. The terraces on both sides of the street were built to one design. The street is a remarkable survival from the early eighteenth century, being so complete and uniform. The scale of the development and its uniformity makes it appear advanced for its period. The report includes a description of the surviving historic fabric, a brief account of its historic development and a brief assessment of the impact of the recent programme of works. It is written from an archaeological, art historical point of view and refers only in passing to structural and engineering works. It includes notes on the houses as first built, their later history, mostly alterations in the 1810s, 1930s and 1960s, their listing in the 1950s, and a brief assessment of the impact of the current programme of works on the historic fabric. This is then followed by a room by room description for both houses. In these descriptions, work described as original is considered to date from the 1720s and work described as modem probably dates from the 1930s or 1960s. Work described as new is considered to belong to the current programme of works which began in September 1996. Also included are over one hundred 35mm colour photographs. |
