Description

Novello House was designed in 1906 by the architect Frank Loughborough Pearson, and was built for the music publishers, Novello and Company. The building partly housed the company's printing and bookbinding departments, with the more grand, 'Wrenaissance' style Sales Room allowing the public to browse musical scores by day, and enjoy live music in the evenings.
