ABBEY STREET (West side)
No. 3 Harington House and attached railings 12/06/50 GV II
House, now offices. Probably 1758-1760, altered c1794, and late C19, cleaned and restored 1994. MATERIALS: Bath limestone ashlar with Welsh slate roof. PLAN: Double depth. EXTERIOR: Three storeys, attics and basement, four windows wide. No quoin pilasters, but the whole front is set marginally forward at either side. Ground floor to left has doorway with sidelights in a Venetian type surround with Tuscan pilasters carrying entablature and central pediment; two windows to right. Basement has four six/six sashes. Platband at first floor level and sill band to first floor windows. All windows are late C19 plate glass sashes, in plain reveals. Modillion cornice, parapet, mansard roof with two flat topped dormers, six/six sashes, the right hand one is paired, rubble end stacks with pots. INTERIOR: Not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Wrought iron area railings. HISTORY: The building plot was leased by Thomas Attwood in 1743, and his family retained control of the completed house, but it seems likely to have been built by Jelly as a part of the rebuilding of Abbey Street for the Duke of Kingston's Estate. The doorway looks late C18, however, and this may date from a refurbishment for a recorded letting in 1794. SOURCES: Walter Ison, The Georgian Buildings of Bath (2nd ed. 1980), 141; E. Holland, `The Kingston Estate within the walled City of Bath¿, (1992).
