Description

Denman House is an office and shop building located on the north side of Piccadilly in the City of Westminster, constructed in 1903 by H. A. Woodington. It features a stone façade and a slate roof, designed in a neo-Baroque style as it turns the corner into Air Street. The building stands five storeys tall with an attic and includes a six-storey corner tower.

The structure has two bays facing Piccadilly, with a bowed corner that transitions into a half-octagon tower above the first floor, and a single matching bay on Air Street. The ground floor has shop fronts beneath an entablature, with the fascia of the corner shop displaying Art Nouveau lettering and an archivolt arched entrance. The entablature is adorned with an enriched cornice featuring sculptured lions.

The first-floor windows are framed by a colonnade of Doric piers, while the second and third floors have vertically linked windows set in enriched arched openings with sculptured panels. The fourth floor windows are placed within an Ionic colonnade. An enriched frieze runs along the main entablature, which supports an elaborate lucarne. At the top of the corner tower, there is an Ionic order, above which a pierced drum with bold volute buttresses supports a stone dome.
