'(242) Statue House, and a similar building to the W., stand at each side of the N. end of St. Mary Street (Plate 40); they are of three storeys with mansard attics and walls rendered in stucco and were built c. 1815. They continue the design of Johnstone Row and form semicircular terminations to two converging blocks of building S. of the King's Statue. Statue House has suffered little alteration but the building to the W. has modern shop fronts to the ground floor. The former has a central entrance doorway on the N. side flanked by bowed shop windows with a frieze and moulded cornice above and with two-storey bow windows to the upper floors. The plan provides a central entrance hall and staircase with quadrant-shaped rooms at each side.'
