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.
