Building record MDO28393 - 26 and 28 West Street, Poole

Two houses of three storeys, but originally of two storeys and attics, were built as a single house in the mid 18th century. The ground floor windows had flat arches of gauged brick with ogee sinkings; the jambs and quoins in a brick of deeper colour than the rest of the walling. The plan, which originally comprised two principal rooms with a staircase hall between, was modified by late 19th century alterations. Demolished before 1970.
