Delarche House, Webber Row London County Council Estate

Delarche House is a block of flats with shops, constructed between 1905 and 1906 as part of the London County Council Estate. The design is attributed to Roger Stark, working within the LCC Architects' Department. The building is built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with stone copings and dressings. The rear elevation features recessed balconies, providing access to the flats, and stair towers. Glazed brick is used in the recessed balcony ranges on the rear. The roof is tiled and has broad, sweeping eaves supported by elegant metal brackets, a design element repeated across the five blocks forming the estate. All windows are either flat- or segmental-arched and feature sash windows of a traditional design. The building is five storeys in height, or four storeys with dormers. The interior has not been inspected. Delarche House, along with Mawdley House, Dauncey House, Algar House, and Overy House, follows a similar design with a roughly rectangular plan – one side featuring balconies and the other not – and uses the same building materials. While sharing some design similarities with the London Boundary Estate, the Webber Row Estate possesses a distinct character which was likely introduced by the architect.
