Description
89 to 95 Strand, including Nos 2 and 3 Savoy Court, is an extension of the Savoy Hotel complex built between 1903 and 1904 by T. E. Collcutt. The building features a Doulton's Carrara Ware terracotta facing, with green pantile and plain tile roofs, showcasing a Free Northern Renaissance style. It has a distinctive corner turret instead of traditional gables and forms part of an almost symmetrical composition with Nos 96 to 104.
The structure is six storeys high with two tiers of attics beneath a steep mansard roof. It is eight windows wide, arranged in a 1:6:1 pattern, with a five-window return to Savoy Court in a 1:4 arrangement. The ground floor retains the original shop front of the Savoy Taylors' Guild, with No 89 serving as a public house to the right. The shop windows are tripartite, featuring arched transoms and colonettes, with a central shop door flanked by quarter Ionic columns supporting an entablature. A 1929 canopy extends over the Savoy Court return.
The upper floors are adorned with closely set architraved casement windows, with cornices on the second and third floors. The flanking bays feature shallow two-light segmental bow windows, which culminate at the corner in a fully developed three-storey domed turret. This turret includes three-light mullioned transomed windows set between buttresses topped with ball finials. A bold cornice caps the fourth floor, with a sheer attic cornice and corniced segmental pedimented dormers in the mansard roof. The same architectural details are present on Savoy Court, though the bows are only located at the corner.
