House. 1865. Brick with stone and artificial stone dressings.
Slate roof.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys above a basement. 3 bays. The 1st and 2nd
floor windows are glazing bar sashes with exposed sash boxes,
and a 1st floor sill band. The rusticated lintels have
individually-sculpted heads as keystones. To each side of the
doorway, in the right-hand bay of the ground floor, there are
much narrower lintels with similar heads, the right-hand one
to a tall narrow sashed window and the left-hand one to a
blind recess. On the ground floor there is a canted bay window
on a brick base, with sashes without glazing bars, timber
rusticated lintels, a modillion cornice, and a leaded roof. At
basement level the canted bay has rubbed brick flat arches and
glazing bar sashes. To the right of the steps to the main
entrance there is a narrow cellar window. To the left of the
steps there is a cellar doorway with a door of 4 panels and a
shallow overlight in 3 panes. The main doorway has brick
pilasters with roll-moulded corners and stone caps and bases,
supporting a semicircular arch with sculpted keystone and an
archivolt which includes polychrome tiles. The recessed door
has 6 raised and fielded panels. Above there is a plain
semicircular overlight. To the left and right of the facade
pilaster strips rise from the 1st floor sill band to corbelled
kneelers which are carved with lions' heads. Timber modillion
gutter cornice. Shared chimneys to left and right.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the attached railings have spear-head
finials and are set on low brick walls with stone copings. The
gate is also of iron, with iron gateposts which have ball
finials.
Nos 1-22 Bootham Terrace form an unusually complete row of
speculatively built terraced houses, constructed between 1860
and 1870 to an interesting variety of different designs.
