Righton Building

The Righton Building, formerly known as Cavendish House, is a draper's shop and showrooms that was built in 1905 and is now an annex to a school of art. It features a rectangular plan situated on a corner site with a chamfered corner. The building is constructed of white glazed brick and buff terracotta, topped with a slate and glass roof. It has two storeys over cellars and five windows facing Cavendish Street, plus a corner window to the left. The ground floor has been altered, but it retains a terracotta sill-band, frieze, cornice, and a shaped parapet. The centre of the parapet is arched with a finial and displays a banner with raised lettering that reads "A.D. RIGHTON 1905."

The building features canted oriel windows with eight lights in the centre and six lights in the outer bays and the corner. The left side, which faces Higher Ormond Street, has eleven bays. The first five bays have been altered at the ground floor like the front, while the next three feature oval windows at ground level. The last three bays include oriel windows and a doorway, all adorned with a plain frieze and dentilled cornice. The first floor has canted eight-light oriels alternating with transomed six-light windows, each topped with a segmental-arched upstand to the parapet, which is decorated with moulded terracotta.

Inside, there is a central atrium with a gallery supported by superimposed cast-iron columns. The lower columns feature open-work brackets that form elliptical arches, while the upper columns have Corinthian capitals supporting a panelled frieze. The atrium includes set-back glazed screen walls on both floors, Art Nouveau wrought-iron balustrades on the gallery, and a glazed roof held up by slender iron trusses with open-work spandrels.
