The Daily Telegraph Building

The Daily Telegraph Building is a Grade II listed newspaper office with flats above, constructed in 1928 by Elcock & Sutcliffe with Thomas Tait. The building features a podium made of Portland stone and granite and stands six storeys tall, including a recessed top storey. It is seven windows wide with a central entrance. The five central bays are slightly set forward within a five-storey panel that has a fluted frame. There are giant columns between the windows, and a stone fascia above the first floor displays the words "Daily Telegraph." The outer bays contain carriageways and vertical windows with zigzag panels, although only the first floor retains the original zigzag glazing. These outer bays rise to form towers. The building includes bronze balconies and window frames, with showcases featuring Egyptian ornamentation on the ground floor and openwork bronze doors. Stone relief sculptures are located above the door, on the same windows, and at the tops of the towers. A large, elaborate clock is attached at the third-floor level. A mezzanine has been inserted into the entrance hall, but other interior details have not been seen.
