Terrace of 9 houses (one on the return), now offices, club and
house. 1852-4. Calciferous sandstone ashlar on moulded plinth,
with string course, cornice and dwarf parapet. Graduated slate
roof with some skylights and C20 boxed dormers; shared ridge
brick chimney stacks, partly rebuilt or heightened.
2 storeys, 3 bays each, except No.2 Albert Street which is
2-bay. Right and left paired doorways have panelled door and
overlights, up steps, in prostyle Ionic porches. Sash windows,
most with glazing bars in plain stone reveals over recessed
aprons. Cellar windows under ground-floor windows, the voids
of No.12 and No.18 with cast-iron patterned railings. No.12

The end of the terrace Nos 16 and 18 project slightly from the

echo the facade of No.2 at the other end. 2-bay return of
No.18 is on Albert Street and continues as No.2 Albert Street
with right panelled door and overlight in pilastered surround.
Sash windows in plain reveals. Railed cellar void carried

See description of Nos 3-17 for further details. This terrace
is not on the 1851 census, but appears on Asquith's Survey of
Carlisle 1853. The Carlisle Journal (1852) records the finding
of Roman remains in digging foundations for houses. The deeds
for No.4, listing the builder, plasterer and joiner, are dated
July 1854.
No.12 formerly listed on 13.11.72.
(Carlisle Journal: 28 May 1852).
