Homes of Rest, Church of England Temperance Society
II
Rest home. Plans dated 1910, to designs by Arthur C. Russell
of 13 Basinghall Street for the Sons of Temperance Friendly
Society, Pension Almshouse Fund, Blackfriars. Red brick in
Flemish bond with brick and glazed brick dressings; painted
render to first-floor of centre section; roofs of tile with
tile cresting and ornament; metal-roofed, wood-framed cupola
ridge of centre section. Fire-resistant, reinforced concrete
construction to upper-floor units. Three-part composition with
two-storey, projecting centre section terminating in a facing
gable with dentil cornice and swept eaves; 3-window range with
oriel in centre set in round-arched recess; two units on each
floor. To either side a single-storey recessed wing of two
windows flanking a recessed entrance porch; half hipped to
returns which are pierced by a roundel; broad swept eaves on
wood brackets shelter concrete walkways to side units.
Segmental-arched windows and round diaphragm arches to
recessed entrance porches, that to centre with curved parapet
having a 'Moorish' effect. Moulded stacks to short returns of
centre range and a pair to rear roof slope of each wing. All
units consisted of a bedroom, living room, scullery and WC,
those to first floor with fire escapes at the rear. Features
of note include: Rubbed brick plaque with mosaic decoration
and inscriptions to peak of facing gable; mosaic paving to
vestibules of entrances porches; classically styled stone
memorial plaque to right return of central entrance porch; six
inscribed foundation stones to plinth. According to original
plans a two-storey extension to centre of rear with WCs and
fire escape; WC's in outshut lean-to to each pair of units in
lower wings. The design of the main elevation is distinguished
by subtle proportions and the use of slightly mannered details
such as the swept eaves, all of which combine to good and
elegant effect.
