Philanthropic flats. 1865. By Matthew Allen for the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company under the guidance of Sydney Waterlow. Materials and treatment of architectural elements, identical to flats 1-20 in Stanley Passage to the north (now demolished) with which this block formed a group. 5 storeys. One window to end ranges flanking 2-bay balcony-stair recess; balconies enclosed by cast-iron lattice railings and supported by cast-iron columns and lintels. 2-window range to right return with segmental-arched windows, the lintels cast from concrete and panelled.

Stanley Buildings form a group with the King's Cross Gasholders, Goods Way (qqv) and Barlow's great shed to St Pancras Station, Euston Road (qv). Among the earliest blocks built by Waterlow's influential and prolific IIDC, Stanley Buildings are in addition an important part of a dramatic Victorian industrial landscape.
