Building record MDO28355 - 18 - 23 Skinner Street, Poole

Eight houses, built in the late 18th century; the front walls are in header bond brickwork. Number 18 has a flat hood above the doorway carried by shaped brackets. Numbers 19 to 21 each have a two storey bay window to the north and flat cornices above the front doors. Numbers 22 to 25 were built between 1786 and 1792 as a symmetrical group, of which numbers 23 and 24 formed one house and numbers 22 and 25 projected slightly in advance to form wings. Numbers 23 and 24 were divided in 1833 when the rear of the house was extended and partly rebuilt. Numbers 23 and 24 are together five bays wide with a plat band in place of a cornice and a parapet supporting urns; the doorways are combined under a single pediment; the doorway of number 22 has a pulvinated frieze and broken pediment. The front room of number 23 retains original woodwork and an original cornice. Demolished before 1970
