Description

Princes Chambers is a mid to late 19th-century warehouse and office building, now used entirely as offices. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings and features a concealed roof. The building has a trapezoidal plan on a corner site with rounded corners, designed in the Italian palazzo style. It rises four storeys over a basement and has a symmetrical five-bay facade, plus one bay at the rounded corners. The facade includes a stone plinth, a cornice above the ground floor, sill-bands on the second and third floors, and a prominent bracketed eaves cornice. The ground floor is arcaded with round-headed arches supported by broad stone pilasters, linked moulded imposts, and moulded heads with keystones. The central doorway has internal steps and is flanked by recessed round-headed sashes without glazing bars. The upper floors feature similar arcaded fenestration, with linking stone imposts and stilted keyed hoodmoulds; the windows are segmental-headed on the first and second floors and round-headed on the third floor, with the first-floor windows sashed without glazing bars and the upper windows altered to casements. The building has an eight-bay facade facing Pall Mall, matching the style of the main facade. The interior has not been inspected.
