Description
This is a block of shops with flats above, built between 1891 and 1893 by Thomas and F.T. Verity. It is located on the west side of North Audley Street, London. The building is constructed of red brick and terracotta, with slate roofs and is designed in a Flemish style, similar to the adjacent buildings at 34 to 42 South Audley Street by the same architects.
The building is four storeys high with attics, and features an asymmetrical facade with three windows on each side. The shop fronts and doorways are faced with terracotta and have wide, transomed display windows beneath an entablature. The windows to the pub at number 24 (the Marlborough Head) have rounded corners to their heads. Shallow pilasters frame the windows and doorways, extending upwards to a cornice and a blind decorated parapet above. Upper floors have projecting bay windows with sash windows containing glazing bars. The main entablature features a patterned terracotta frieze above the second-floor cornice, with a ball-finialed parapet above the third floor. Pairs of hipped roof dormers alternate with shaped, pedimented gables topped with obelisk finials. The corner of number 24 is set forward on a splay while the corner of number 29 is treated as a turret with a finialed dome.
