GV II

Includes: Nos.1-7 Queen Alexandra Mansions GRAPE STREET. Shops with mansion flats over. 1902-8. Almost certainly by C Fitzroy Doll. Red brick with exuberant terracotta dressings, slate roof with tall stacks. PLAN/EXTERIOR: asymmetrical L-shaped plan, with 5-window range to Shaftesbury Avenue and eight windows to Grape Street. 5 storeys, with 2-storey attic remodelled along Grape Street late C20. Massive corner bartizan which rises from a single ground floor column with foliate capital to form tourelle with panels of moulded heads on giant modillion frieze. This is answered by corner tourelle rising from third floor at junction fronting New Oxford Street. 2 more regular square 3-storey oriels face Shaftesbury Avenue, with 2 likewise to Grape Street, all with machicolated frieze. All linked by parapets, modillion cornice and many bands. The main corner bartizan with balconies either side, with terracotta balustrading and behind which the windows have segmental-arched transoms. The other windows are mullion and transom casements in moulded terracotta surrounds with notched lintels that continue as bands across the composition. Shopfronts to Shaftesbury Avenue C20, those to Grape Street to consistent design, all set between moulded terracotta pilasters. INTERIORS not inspected. Included primarily for the quality of its street facades, an exceptionally powerful work in Doll's typically bombastic idiom using fine terracotta.
