Blundells 1796 Timelines: Buildings Timeline

2 houses and part of 43 Princes Street, built in 1796.

It has bow windows extending through three floors, an ornate doorway with urns and a balustrade above.

Notice the stonewalling below the ground floor windows, and the small shell-like moldings below the second-floor windows and the lead rainwater hoppers.

The building is one of several survivors of the policy adopted by the Doncaster Corporation to create Rounded Corner buildings in the town in the late 1700s.

The Corporation would encourage property owners to convert their property to a rounded corner with financial incentives.

The building was the home of William Lindley, a noted architect in the town, before he moved to the Pillared Houses.
