Description
No. 44 Old Bond Street is a commercial building constructed in 1906 by E. A. Hune. It features a stucco exterior and a slate roof, showcasing an individual Free Style front with sculpture and classical details inspired by 17th-century artisan classicism. The building stands four storeys tall with a single bay elevation. The ground floor retains its original shop front, framed by Roman Ionic columns and an entablature. The first-floor window is tripartite, with plain squared dividers and a frame, and small pane square leaded lights. Flanking Tuscan quoin pilasters exhibit marked entasis. The second-floor window mirrors this design but includes an arched centre light in a Venetian style, flanked by life-size, naturally sculpted nude female figures acting as caryatids on the capitals of the first-floor quoin pilasters. These figures support the entablature that holds a screen of Ionic columns across the third-floor window. The overall design is topped with a deep segmental pediment gable featuring a festooned cartouche inscribed "1906 Glyns House."
