Reinforced concrete construction to main former garage, with steel frame and concrete floors to circular corner block and curtain wall elevation to block facing Lucy Tower Street which has flat roof. Rear former garage, now book store, has a reinforced concrete hyperbolic paraboloid shell roof, supported on columns to provide a clear unobstructed area. It consists of four units, each 50 ft square and 2« inches thick, with the edges thickened to form the supporting framework. The lower points of each shell are supported on reinforced concrete columns, the high point at each corner being stayed against wind by means of a steel column.
