Description
Stratton House is a corner office block with shops, built in 1929 by Curtis Green. It is constructed from Portland stone and features a slate roof. The building has a large palazzo style, similar in scale to Devonshire House but with a narrower frontage and minimal classical detailing. It consists of five main storeys and a sheer attic storey with a dormered roof, displaying seven bays along Piccadilly. The ground floor has mid-20th century shop windows set within pilasters and includes a mezzanine. The windows are plainly pierced, and there is a deep entablature and eaves cornice. The building has a long return to Stratton Street, with channelled piers that separate shallow bowed ground floor bay windows, topped by an entablature.
