Description
10 Fleet Street is an office building constructed in 1885 by architect R.W. Edis. It is made of pink brick and terracotta and stands four storeys high with an attic. The building features five bays, with the rightmost bay being wider and containing a canted oriel bay window that extends through the first and second storeys. The ground floor has a channelled finish and includes three semi-circular headed window openings along with a lower doorway topped by a bearded mask keystone. Above this, there is a pulvinated frieze and a dentil cornice at the first floor level. The upper floors have mullion and transom windows, with the first floor featuring triangular pediments and the second floor showcasing open scroll pediments. At the third floor, swagged Ionic pilasters support a rich entablature. The building is topped with a balustraded parapet that is interrupted by a triangular gable with an inset window. The roof is a slated mansard style with dormers.
Inside, there is decorative plasterwork and staircases with wrought-iron balustrades. A notable feature is the rear wing, which connects to the building on the left, facing Middle Temple Lane. This wing was formerly part of No. 15 Fleet Street and was built as the Rainbow Tavern by Rawlinson Parkinson in 1859-60. The stucco front facing Middle Temple Lane is four storeys tall with three bays, articulated by Tuscan pilasters and rusticated quoin strips. The interior of the former "coffee room," now a library, on the ground floor boasts a fine plaster ceiling by H. Parsons, which is divided into sunken panels and richly decorated with foliage and swags of fruit.
