Description
Nos. 114 and 115 on High Holborn are offices and a shop built around 1903-1904 by Arthur Keen. The building is constructed of red brick with Portland stone dressings and features black brick chequerwork beneath a slate mansard roof, which has gable stacks and pots. The ground floor is made of granite and the building is designed in a modified Jacobean style.
It has six storeys and is double-fronted with three window bays. The ground floor includes arched entrances on either side and a three-bay 20th-century shopfront, topped with a cornice. The two outer bays are made of stone, projecting and rising through the first to third floors, adorned with pediments and enriched window aprons. The first floor has a central bay of stone with enriched panels, while the second and third floors are brick with stone-dressed windows. The windows on the first to third floors are metal, and the fourth floor features brick with sash windows. A main dentil cornice is present at the fifth storey level, above which is a brick Dutch gable with three segmental-headed sashes, flanked by seated stone figures of Edward VII and Edward I. The interior has not been inspected.
