Description
Numbers 124 and 126 are warehouses dating from around 1870, now used as offices. They are constructed of stock brick with stone dressings and feature a stone cornice, topped by a mansard roof covered in slate. The building stands four storeys high and has nine roof dormers. It has a total of thirteen windows, with the first ten arranged symmetrically from west to east. The main entrance is centrally located between the fourth and fifth window ranges, both of which project from the facade. There are additional doors in the first and tenth bays, and a further three-window range to the east.
Most of the upper floor openings remain unchanged, featuring plate-glass sashes separated by iron colonnettes. On the third floor, these colonnettes support the main cornice, while at the first and second floor levels, they carry brick segmental arches. The openings in the first and tenth bays, which may have originally served as hoist bays, have been altered, as have the ground floor doors and windows. However, the framework of piers, colonnettes, and attached columns that define the openings on this floor is intact.
The interior has not been inspected, but the building is noted for its elaborate stone detailing, including hoods on the piers (with iron cresting still present at the first-floor level), a "Lombardic" frieze on the cornice, and numerous Corinthian capitals, all contributing to its distinctive character. It is recognized in the "South London" volume of the Buildings of England series for its attractive "Venetian Gothic" elevation.
