Description
No. 138 Park Lane is an end-of-terrace town house that was rebuilt in 1832 by John Elger and converted into flats with a shop front in 1928 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The building is finished in stucco and has a slate roof. It features a typical late Regency style front along Park Lane, with a bow shape, three storeys, an attic storey, a dormered mansard, and a basement. The front is three windows wide. The ground floor facing Park Lane and part of the return has been altered to include a shop front from 1928, with display windows and a corner entrance framed by a stone Doric order. To the left of the Dunraven Street front, there is a former house entrance with a Doric portico-porch, and its entablature extends across the ground floor. Above the shop, the Park Lane front retains a three-window bow on the first floor, complete with a balustraded parapet and balcony. The upper floors feature flat arched sash and casement windows with architraves. There is a projecting cornice over the second floor and an attic cornice with a balustraded parapet. The area is enclosed by spear head railings.
