Shops with accommodation over. 1791-1794 with C20 additions, No. 34 mostly 1950s, when colonnade extended south in like manner. By Thomas Baldwin.

MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar with Welsh slate roof.

PLAN: Double depth plan, with No. 36 going round corner into segment adjoining Nos 1-8 Bath Street (qv).

EXTERIOR: Three storeys and attics. Eight bays to Stall Street and two to segment as above. Stall Street elevation has nine Ionic columns to ground floor which carry deep fascia. Columns get steadily taller as ground falls to south. Modern shopfronts (No.34 and Nos.35-36) set back behind, giving paved footway. Shopfronts have running swag band over and egg-and-dart cornice to footway ceiling. On first floor third and sixth windows have pedimented surrounds, decorated with garlands and paterae; double strip pilasters with console caps. Windows in plain reveals, all six/six-sashes of late C18 type. Panels over plain windows. Scrolled sill band to second floor, all windows plain. Cornice, parapet, plain roof without dormers or stacks, mid C20. Eighth bay (right hand) blind with recesses. Face has single dormer and may be only C18 part of facade. Segment elevation first two bays of six (other four are No.1 Bath Street). Second first floor window pedimented above, one dormer.

INTERIORS: Not inspected but likely to be wholly of C20.

HISTORY: A prominent part of the Neoclassical remodelling of the City centre to the designs of Thomas Baldwin, following the 1789 Bath Improvement Act, which forms a notable group with Bath Street and represents the height of fashion in mid-Georgian polite urban architecture.
