TQ3184NW LIVERPOOL ROAD 635-1/45/589 (East side) (Consecutive) Samuel Lewis Buildings, Flats 601-614

GV II

Block of flats. Dated 1909 on rainwater heads, the estate as a whole completed in 1910. Designed by Joseph and Smithem for the Samuel Lewis Trust. Red brick set in English bond with dressings of artificial stone and roughcast, roofs of artificial slate. Five storeys. Part of an estate of six blocks which are set out in parallel, with short gabled ends to Liverpool Road; the five southernmost blocks are identical in design though not in orientation, and symmetrical on both their long fronts; the northernmost block, nos 601-614, is shorter and of rather different design. All windows flat-arched, and all sashes apart from those in the staircase bay which are casements. Central staircase bay with flat-arached entrance under a bracketed canopy with three-light mullioned windows to first and third floors; canted bay to either side with stone window surrounds and cast-iron window-guards to four storeys, deep eaves, which also run over middle bay, and canted dormer in mansard roof; either side of that are ranges of three windows, the central windows shorter, under a shaped and banded gable; either side of that, set back slightly, is a one-window range, apparently altered on the ground floor, the third floor rendered, and dormer in mansard roof. The rear elevation is stepped in plan with a large lift block inserted in one re-entrant angle. (Historians' file, English Heritage London Division).
