释义 |
HistoryThe terrace was constructed in 1778–79 as a speculative project by Lionel Tollemache, the fifth Earl of Dysart, who inherited the land from an ancestor who married into the Wilbraham family in 1680.[3][4] The Earl of Dysart was also patron of St Mary's Church in the adjacent parish of Acton.[5] DescriptionDysart Buildings is a terrace of nine three-storey town houses in red brick under a slate roof.[1] The front (south) face is symmetrical, and Pevsner describes the terrace as "perfectly even".[2] Each of the individual houses has three bays. The entrance doors all feature wooden doorcases with flanking pilasters and fanlights topped with a pediment; the windows all have plain tops and stone sills. At the ends of the terrace are projecting bays. The west end has an additional later extension.[1] Each end of the terrace bears an oval plaque with the name of the building.[6] See also
