Description
No. 73 New Cavendish Street is a town villa that was rebuilt in the late 19th century from a Portland Place mews building. It features stucco cladding and a front pitch roof covered with slate fish scale slates. This building is an interesting example of "Regency" Revival architecture. It has two storeys, a basement, and a dormered mansard roof. The façade is five windows wide, with a central entrance bay that is slightly advanced.
The ground floor has channelled stucco and a semicircular arched doorway at the center, framed by pilasters that support an entablature with a modillioned cornice. The door is panelled, with a moulded doorhead and reveal that is enhanced with rope moulding and a keystone. The windows are recessed sashes, with one being blind on the ground floor, while those on the first floor are set in eared architraves. The building features rusticated quoins, an enriched cornice above the ground floor, and a crowning entablature with a modillion cornice and a blocking course that is slightly inflected over the central break. The dormers have shouldered bases and segmental arched cornice-hoods. This building is an early example of the Portland Estate's efforts to reintroduce a modest domestic residential scale in the area, a scheme that was pursued on these east-west cross streets in the early 1900s.
