10 and 12 Palace Court is a pair of Grade II* listed[1] houses in Bayswater, London.
History
The houses are on Palace Court, a road developed relatively later than most of Bayswater. The houses were completed in 1890 to the design of James MacLaren.[2] They were built to house the two married daughters of shipowner Donald Currie.[3]
Architecture
The houses were built in the Arts and Crafts style, used elsewhere on the street, which was gaining popularity at the time. Built of red brick with Portland stone embellishments. Notable features are a stone frieze and irregular bays. Its overall asymmetrical nature was common among Arts and Crafts homes of the time.[3]
The houses were Grade listed II* in 1951 for their architectural value.[1]
