Building record MDO28380 - 1 and 3 West Street, Poole

Two houses, built as a single house in about 1700, but have been much altered. The external brickwork of number 1, which is of this date, is laid in English bond and had a three course plat band at first floor level, now largely cut away. In the ground floor room of this house is an original fireplace with a bolection-moulded architrave and moulded shelf, a corner cupboard we shell head, and an exposed stop-chamfered ceiling beam. The ground floor is subdivided by plank and muntin partitions with a moulded top rail above which is an open ventilation grille with flat slats shaped in the form of balusters. The roof is supported by pairs of principal rafters, the westernmost rafter of each couple being bent inwards at the foot to bring the dormer windows nearer to the outer face of the wall. Number 3 was refronted and the houses partly refitted and divided in the early 19th century. Demolished
