The Paragon is a Georgian street in the Walcot area of Bath, Somerset, designed by Thomas Warr Attwood and begun in 1768. The scheme comprises uniform three-storey houses distinguished by mansard roofs, matching doors and windows with central pediments, flat entablatures flanking the first-floor windows, and Tuscan pilasters and pediments to the doorways. Numbers 1 to 21 were completed first; numbers 22 to 37, which continue the established architectural theme, were finished in 1775 by local mason Joseph Axford. Several houses (numbers 28 to 32) sustained bomb damage during the Second World War but were subsequently restored. The street now forms part of the A4 and the buildings have been designated as listed structures.
