Building record MDO28247 - 78 High Street, Poole

House with shop is a fragment of a house of which the north east end has been rebuilt. The original building was erected between 1755 and 1758 and appears largely unaltered in a photograph of 1896 in Poole museum. This shows it to have been of five bays with ground floor windows under semi-circular heads with key stones, and first floor windows with segmental heads with key stones. The angles of the elevation were embellished with quoins and the wall was capped by a moulded cornice and parapet. The surviving portion is in header bond brickwork; parts of two of the original first floor windows remain.
