Edric House

Edric House is a tenement courtyard block of flats constructed between 1928 and 1930 as part of the Westminster Housing Scheme for the Grosvenor Estate. The building was designed as a consultant project by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It is built of grey brick and white rendered chequerboard external elevations, with grey brick and rendered access galleries facing the courtyard. Stone dressings are used, and the roofs are concealed. The architectural style is stripped Georgian. The house is six storeys high, with four-window wide facades to the street and long returns enclosing a rectangular courtyard. Ground-floor doorways lead to the courtyard and galleries provide access to the upper floors. The windows are flush framed glazing bar sashes, with similar sashes on the courtyard elevations. Parapet copings finish the facades. The design represents an imaginative interpretation of a London County Council housing block.
