Description
18 and 19 Old Bond Street are two terrace houses that have been converted into a large retail unit, dating from around 1760. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature a slate roof. The building has a broad frontage and is double depth with a mansard roof, characteristic of the domestic terraces designed by John Wood.
The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with five windows that are all twelve-pane sash, including three small dormers. The main floors have moulded architraves, with cornice hoods above the first floor and triangular pediments over the second and fourth bays. A full-width shopfront, designed in 1932 by Whinney, Son and Austen Hall, is well-proportioned and includes a central door. The building has a modillion cornice, a blocking course, and a parapet that is slightly higher than the adjacent No. 17 but aligns with No. 20 on the right. The party divisions are coped, with deep rubble and ashlar stacks. The rear elevation is not visible.
Inside, the ground and first floors have been extensively remodeled, and no original Georgian features remain. However, a Deco-style staircase made of banded polished limestone in the southwest corner is a notable remnant of interwar retail design, likely dating from the 1932 refurbishment by the architects.
