White's Club

White's Club is a gentlemen's club located at Nos 37 and 38 on St. James's Street in Westminster. Originally built in 1674, it was rebuilt between 1787 and 1788, likely by James Wyatt, with alterations made in 1811 and a front remodel by Lockyer in 1852. The building is constructed of Portland stone and features a slate roof. It showcases a Victorian interpretation of a Palladian facade with some French design elements.

The structure has three storeys, a basement, and a dormered attic, and it is five bays wide. The ground floor is vermiculated and rusticated, with flanking doorways and a broad segmental bow window at the center, which dates from 1811 and is flanked by panelled pilasters that separate the glazing bar sash lights. The upper floors are defined by a giant order of Ionic pilasters, featuring a large semicircular arched window in the center of the first floor, with flat arched windows on either side that have enriched friezes and pediments supported by consoles. Between the pediments and the second-floor windows are oval relief plaques in the Gabriel style, adorned with garlands. The wall surface of the upper floors also displays shallow banding and channelling in a French style. The giant order is topped with a full entablature and a balustraded parapet above the cornice. There is a cast iron balcony on brackets on the first floor and cast iron area railings. The interior is noted to be of good quality.
