126, Great Portland Street W1

No. 126 Great Portland Street is an office and shop building constructed around 1898 by A. Beresford Pite. It features red brick with minimal painted stone dressings and a slate roof. The design is in the Free Style Queen Anne style, with Baroque influences on the ground floor and a strong vertical emphasis. The building stands four storeys tall with a steep mansard roof that includes dormers.

The narrow front of the building has a full-height canted bay and a narrow single window bay to the right. The ground floor showcases a tripartite shop front framed by a bolection moulded eared architrave. The central doorway is flanked by chamfered pilasters topped with boldly modelled caps that resemble Byzantine styles, supporting freely modelled brackets for the cornice that overhangs on a cove, extending across the front and raised in a segmental hood over the door.

On the upper floors, the canted bay features flush framed sash windows with segmental arches, which are recessed under blind semicircular relieving arches. These windows are slightly set back in full-height reveals, creating a flanking pilaster effect. The narrow sash windows on the splayed sides also have similar relieving arches. To the right, there is one recessed segmental arched two-light casement window on each floor. The building is topped with a parapet that has coping and a central large canted dormer.
