GV II

Art school and gallery. 1896-8 (inscribed 1897). By Maurice Adams. Red brick with plentiful white stone dressings, bandings and sculptured ornament; slate roof behind break-front parapet with ball finials, which ties together horizontally the exuberant, Baroque-detailed frontage of 3 storeys and basement. EXTERIOR: left section of 5 bays with emphasis on end gabled bay. Right section of 6 bays with emphasis on projecting 2nd bay from right (South London Art Gallery entrance). Between the 2 sections is the wide main (School of Arts) entrance bay, projecting to full height and mainly of stone, with entrance under semicircular hood on large caryatids. At parapet level, supported by 3 Caryatids, deep segmental pediment under gable, both with carved ornament. Windows mullioned and transomed both to centre and curving sides of bay. Second entrance (in right section) is round-arched with keystone, incorporated into slightly projecting mostly stone bay which rises to full height with low, sculptured gable over deep modillion cornice; datestone in raised stone parapet behind. Broken segmental pediment above 1st-floor windows with mullions. Scrolled plaque above entrance: "THE PASSMORE EDWARDS SOUTH LONDON ART GALLERY AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE".

Both sections of the building are similarly detailed. Small ground-floor windows (those in left section circular) within round-headed stone arches with keystones. Pilasters with masks beneath rise from ground-floor break-front cornice through 1st and 2nd floors, between sash windows with moulded stone architraves, those on 2nd floor taller. Cornice above 1st floor curves up above windows, that above 2nd floor rises to points above windows and incorporates masks into pilaster tops. Various banded chimneys and small cupola with ogee roof in ridge above main entrance. INTERIOR: not inspected.
