Description
127 and 129 High Holborn is an office block, now functioning as a bank, built around 1904 by architects H Percy Adams and Charles Holden. The building is constructed from Portland stone with a granite ground floor and features four storeys plus an attic. It has four bays facing High Holborn, a splayed corner, and a four-bay return to Southampton Place. Designed in a Free Classical style, it includes rusticated pilasters between the bays that support a sill string at the third floor level. The corner entrance is round-arched and has a bracketed stone balcony above it. The windows are architraved, with those on the first floor featuring broken cornices that alternate with a Venetian style. A bracketed cornice runs along the top, leading to the attic, and the corner of the building is topped with a turret. The interior has not been inspected.
