Coroner'S Court

The Coroner's Court, built in 1893 by G. R. W. Wheeler, is a small free-standing building located on Horseferry Road in the City of Westminster. It is an early example of the Arts and Crafts style, combining elements of neo-Georgian and Jacobean architecture. The building is constructed of red brick and Portland stone, featuring a slate roof and stands three storeys tall with three windows across the front.

A central arched porch supports a first-floor bow window that has mullioned and transomed lights. The upper lights of the bow window are divided by shafts and topped with a domed roof. The ground floor windows are designed in a modified Venetian style, featuring a central glazing bar sash beneath a semicircular rubbed-brick arch with spaced stone voussoirs. These windows are separated from the side lights by very short, block-banded columns topped with an impost-entablature. Flanking the bow window are three-light stone mullioned and transomed windows. The attic storey contains five windows. A moulded stone cornice runs above the first floor, and there is a bracketed stone eaves cornice leading to the pyramidal slate roof.
