SE2933SE YORK PLACE 714-1/77/455 (South side) Nos.6 AND 8 and attached railings

GV II

Offices. Dated 1902. Red brick, terracotta details, roof not visible, cast-iron basement railings. 3 storeys and basement, added attic storey, 2 identical blocks of 3 bays of 3:1:3 windows. Each has steps up to central entrance with segmental arch in moulded architrave, small 3-light window and plaque over. Flanking and upper-floor windows in architraves, eared to 1st floor. Pilasters to each end and between the 2 blocks rise to bracketed eaves cornice with central panels with raised lettering: '1902 THR/JRR'. INTERIOR: not inspected. Basement railings: Art Nouveau style scrolled panels between plain rails. HISTORICAL NOTE: in Robinson's Directory for 1903/4 the building is first entered as Nos 6 & 7, York Place Buildings and accommodated the Automatic Hot Air Feed Fire Grate Company, manufacturers of straw hats, linings, clothing and mantles, a woollen manufacturer, a furrier, a woollen and trimming merchant, a tailor and a manufacturers' agent. This is in contrast to the use of York Place Buildings almost entirely as woollen warehouses on the 1886 Insurance map.
