Landseer House, Millbank Estate

Landseer House is a block of flats located in the Millbank Estate in the City of Westminster, built between 1897 and 1902. It is part of one of the first and most significant housing estates designed by the Architects' Department housing section under Owen Fleming, with particular contributions from R. Minton Taylor, who likely planned the layout radiating from a rectangular public garden. The building is constructed of red brick with slight stone dressings and features tiled roofs. Its design reflects a human, Arts and Crafts socialist approach influenced by architects such as Webb, Lethaby, and Smith and Brewer, incorporating "Queen Anne" and Northern European elements, all executed to a high standard.

The structure is arranged in a shallow L shape, with a north wing positioned at right angles to John Islip Street, featuring courtyard elevations. It has five-storey gabled pavilion wings and four storeys plus an attic in the central section. Notable features include cornice-hooded recessed porches leading to the north courtyard, segmental arched flush framed glazing bar sashes, and tripartite windows on the ground floor that are grouped to highlight the interior layout. Dormers are situated above the overhanging eaves. The block is designed to balance with its twin, Mulready House, located to the north of the garden.
