Description
Nos. 30, 31, and 32 Fleet Street are commercial chambers built in 1883, designed by T.E. Knighdey for Philips, who were map and chart printers and stationers. The building is constructed of stone and features a hipped roof that is obscured by a parapet. It stands four storeys tall with an attic and dormers above a basement, arranged in a three-window range. The design reflects the Jacobean revival style.
The ground floor has been significantly altered, but traces of the original elevation can be seen at the left entrance and the right party wall. The first to third floors are treated as shallow segmental bays, each with tripartite windows, where the central bay is much wider than the side bays. All bay windows have transoms and are articulated by panelled pilasters topped with balusters and an entablature. The wall between each bay features three superposed orders of pilasters.
The attic is recessed to a broad coved cornice, which is adorned with pilasters and strapwork that bear the date and initials C (or G) and P. Rising through the coving from the top of each bay, the design terminates in dormers with hipped roofs, featuring Dutch gables on the outer ranges of the upper roof.
