Description
No. 22 Lower Regent Street is an office and shop building constructed around 1871 by Frederick Peck. It incorporates an earlier 19th-century house at the rear and extends through to St. Alban's Street. The building features painted stone and has leaded and slate roofs. Its design is eclectic, with a vague inspiration from French Renaissance architecture, and includes incised ornamentation.
The structure stands four storeys high with a dormered mansard roof and is three windows wide, with a nine-window return along Jermyn Street that includes a two-storey and set-back attic link and extension. The ground floor has a mid-20th-century shop front that wraps around to Jermyn Street, partially obscuring a tripartite window on the first floor. The second floor features recessed square-headed sash windows with cornices and a central pediment. The third floor has archivolt arched windows flanked by pilasters.
The front of the building is framed by quoin pilasters that support an entablature, which features a balustraded balcony adorned with urns on corner pedestals. The attic windows are three-light and flanked by Corinthian pilasters that carry an entablature and segmental pediment, which is topped with a cartouche flanked by seated putti.
