Description
No. 3 and attached vaults of New Bond Street Buildings are two shops located at New Bond Street, built around 1810, likely designed by John Palmer. The front facades are made of painted limestone ashlar, while the rear is not visible. The buildings feature parapeted roofs covered with artificial slate, and there is an ashlar stack on the shared party wall with No. 15 New Bond Street.
Each building has four storeys and a basement, with a two-window front. The first floor of No. 3 has two six-over-nine sash windows with stone sills, while the second floor has a blind window to the left and a six-over-six sash window to the right, both in plain reveals with stone sills. The third floor has two six-over-three sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills. The ground floor features a 19th-century shopfront, and there are no openings to the basement.
No. 15 has a similar arrangement with two six-over-nine sash windows on the first floor, two six-over-six sash windows on the second floor, and two six-over-three sash windows on the third floor, all in plain reveals with stone sills. The ground floor has a 20th-century shopfront, and there is a panel of glass blocks in the pavement to light the basement. Both buildings have a listel forming a frieze and a moulded cornice over the second floor, as well as a moulded eaves cornice and a coped parapet. No. 15 also features an incised street name, "NEW-BOND STREET," to the left of the first floor. The rear elevations are not visible.
The interior was inspected in 1994 and retains a Regency spiral staircase. Historically, these buildings are likely contemporary with the north side of New Bond Street, with leases granted by the Council in 1805. The shop at No. 3 was home to Gillard & Co., coffee specialists, from 1886 until 1952, when they relocated to Broad Street.
