Nos 1-7 Meard Street were built as a uniform row of residences on the west side of the street by carpenter-builder John Meard. The terrace presents a sober facade of brown brick with red-brick dressings and a mock-jointed stucco ground floor that lends the row its genteel regularity. Each house stands three windows across, the doorways enriched with wooden architraves and slender panelled strips, the whole crowned by boldly carved consoles supporting their cornice-hoods. - AsNotedIn
