36, Smith Square Sw1

No. 36 Smith Square is a corner terraced town house built in 1911 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The building is constructed of grey brick with red brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a tiled roof. It features a restrained William and Mary/neo-Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a steep dormered mansard. The façade is three windows wide, with a seven-window return to Dean Trench Street.

The central doorway is stone rusticated and has a bolection cornice above a ground floor plat band, featuring a glazed wrought iron grille door. The ground floor has glazing bar sash windows set back in rusticated stone surrounds that extend down to the plinth. The first floor showcases tall flush framed glazing bar sashes in a style reminiscent of around 1700, positioned under red brick flat gauged arches, with red brick dressings that extend down to the ground floor plat band, framing the aprons below the sills. A deep, moulded stone eaves cornice completes the design. The return section has a three-bay centre break with a central doorway that mirrors the stone dressings, rustications, and fenestration of the main façade. The interior has not been inspected.
