Description
Nos 6½ and 7 Suffolk Street, built around 1823 by John Nash with James Elmes, is a former institution and gallery that now serves as offices. The building is designed in a Graeco-Roman style and features stucco with a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall with an attic storey and is three windows wide. The ground floor is advanced and arcaded, supporting an impressive Roman Doric portico with a pediment, which screens two storeys of architraved sash windows. The attic has small square windows, and there is a cornice and blocking course at the top. The interior, originally designed by Elmes and Nash, has been significantly altered for office use but still retains a gallery that is now part of No 1 Hobhouse Court. The Society of British Artists, founded by James Elmes in 1823, is notable for its connection to the building. This structure is an important example of Nash's street architecture in the style of Regent Street.
