37, Harley Street W1

No. 37 Harley Street is a corner block of chambers and flats built in 1899 by A. Beresford Pite. The building is constructed of stone and features a slate roof. It showcases a Free Style design with Baroque details and an impressive use of sculpture, all presented in a balanced asymmetrical composition. The structure stands four storeys high with a steep dormered mansard and includes a basement.

The facade is three windows wide, featuring a corner oriel and a four-window return that leads to Queen Anne Street. A projecting porch with a shallow segmental pedimented doorway is flanked by high-set oculi and straight and quadrant returns, the latter designed as a tripartite bow with blind lower lights and console-bracketed upper glazed lights. The windows are recessed casements, corniced on the first and second floors, and include mullioned lights in the corner through-storey oriel and the left-hand through-storey canted bay facing Queen Anne Street. Both of these features have sculpted aprons, with the corner oriel displaying fully rounded sculptural figures up to the third floor level.

On the third floor, there are semicircular arched windows situated between the oriel and canted bay, as well as on the Harley Street side. The building has a sill course on the first floor for both Harley Street and the corner oriel, a cornice over the second floor, and a crowning eaves cornice. The dormers in the mansard are corniced and pedimented. Additionally, there are cast iron area railings with enriched foliate finials on the standards.
