10, Mortimer Street W1

This is a corner block of offices and chambers, constructed between 1898 and 1903, possibly by Walker or more likely H. Fuller Clark. It is built of good quality red brick with Portland stone dressings, a slate roof, and is designed in a restrained Arts and Crafts Tudor style. The building is four storeys high and has a basement. It is three irregular bays wide on each front. The entrance is located in the second bay from the corner, featuring a plain stone surround and a segmental pediment. Very shallow, rectangular three-storey bay windows project on each front, and these are stone-dressed with 6-light, mullioned-transomed casement windows on each floor. The mullions and transoms are squared and set flush with the face. Otherwise, there are coupled glazing bar sashes in one reveal with flat gauged arches, and two groups of four sashed lights to the attic storey facing Mortimer Street. A shallow projecting stone cornice is present at the third-floor level, broken over the bay windows, and the attic is crowned by a plain stone frieze and cavetto coping. The building has cast iron area railings with very restrained Arts and Crafts detailing.
