Description

109 and 111 Portland Street are various warehouses, which also served as the office of the Venezuela Vice Consulate in 1905. They were built around 1860-1870 and are currently partly a bar and nightclub, but mostly undergoing renovation. The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. They have a rectangular plan that runs parallel to the street, with loading access at the rear. The architectural style is eclectic, featuring a basement with a sub-basement, five storeys for No.109 and four storeys for No.111, plus attics. The facades have three and two bays, respectively, with banded pilasters and a bracketed cornice at the ground floor, sill-bands on the third and fourth floors, a bracketed eaves cornice, and mansard roofs with dormers.

No.109 has a symmetrical three-bay design, with the centre slightly projecting forward. It features a wide segmental-headed entrance archway with panelled pilasters and reveals, a projected cornice on enriched consoles, and an internal flight of steps leading to recessed sliding double doors. The windows are sashed, square-headed at the ground floor, round-headed at the first floor, and segmental-headed on the third and fourth floors, diminishing in height and mostly coupled, with various decorative elements. There are three dormers with pedimented stone architraves. No.111, to the right, has a matching design with two bays (lacking the fourth floor) and an entrance in the second bay. The rear of the buildings features two sections of full-height glazing, one tripartite and the other bipartite, with integral loading doors.

Inside, there are five rows of iron columns and wooden beams, along with remnants of showroom decoration on the first floor. These buildings form a group with No.103 and Nos. 105 and 107 to the left, and with Nos. 113 to 119 to the right, creating a complete block of former warehouses.
