Description
This building, located at 48-50 Old Bond Street, is a Grade II listed corner block of offices and shops, constructed in 1905 by Read and Macdonald. It features a picturesque free Jacobean style, built from Portland stone with a slate roof. The structure has five main storeys and an attic, with six bays facing Piccadilly beneath a very large gable, an octagonal corner pavilion, and seven bays along Old Bond Street. The ground floor has a mid-20th century shop front that partly obscures some of the original stonework. The building includes canted bay windows with stone mullioned and transomed casement lights, weathered strings, and decorative stonework on the aprons. It is topped with balustraded parapets. On the Old Bond Street side, the elevation reduces to four storeys and features an original deeply moulded segmental arched entrance, with similar window designs. The steeply pitched roof has dormers and tall, decorated chimney stacks.
