Description
No. 30 Gloucester Place is a terrace office block built between 1972 and 1973, designed as a facsimile of late 18th-century terraced houses from around 1790 on the Portman Estate. The building is constructed of stock brick with channelled or rusticated stucco on the ground floor. It stands four storeys high with basements and features a slightly irregular terrace of eight three-bay fronts. The doorways are semicircular arched and include fanlights, with false doors flanking the central entrance. The upper floors have recessed sash windows set under flat gauged red or yellow brick arches. A plat band runs along the first floor, topped by stucco friezes and cornices with a blocking course. There are cast iron balconies on the first floor and area railings topped with urn finials. This building is included in the listing for its group value.
