Description
3 King Street and 92 Cheapside is a building constructed in 1836 by Hopper. The interior was damaged during World War II and subsequently rebuilt, with additional roof storeys and a footway added under the Cheapside frontage. The building features a distinguished classical design made of Portland stone, with an arcaded ground storey of grey granite. Above this, there are two pilastered storeys with pedimented windows, and a balustrade in front of a recessed attic. The structure has a two-storeyed, irregular, slated mansard roof. The longer return to King Street is slightly plainer and ends with an arched entrance topped by a carved figure of Atlas. The return to Ironmonger Lane is even simpler, concluding in a pedimented pavilion with stepped and arched staircase windows. This entrance and the one in King Street are likely later 19th-century additions. A modern, bracketed clock is positioned on the Cheapside side.
