Title
Houses in The Polygon
Description
This view shows the terrace of early-to-mid eighteenth century three-storey houses at 6-8 The Polygon, which face across to Holy Trinity Church on Clapham Common, in the Clapham conservation area of Lambeth. They were Grade II listed in 1974, listing number 1064964. They have stock brick frontages with stucco ground floor, cambered arched windows, and arched doorways. There is some nineteenth century alteration. Number 6’s missing cornice has since been restored. The corner building to the left of view at 5,5a and 5b has since been extended by a single storey, bringing the terrace to a consistent height. Number 8’s neighbouring buildings to the southeast corner of The Polygon were lost to wartime bombing; a neo-Georgian development now occupies the site. The modern building shown beyond number 8 on Old Town has since been redeveloped. The iron railings surrounding the green in the foreground have also been removed.
