Cornwell House
GV II
Includes: No.120 CLERKENWELL ROAD.
Built as the Sessions House Hotel, now showrooms and offices.
1879, converted to showrooms and offices c.1925. White brick
laid in Flemish bond with dressings of red brick and stucco,
polished granite to ground floor, roofs obscured by parapet.
Four storeys, twelve-window range, the building curved in plan
to the street and breaking back and forth irregularly. Ground
floor of no 20 is a three-bay shop front with segmental-arched
entrance and two flat-arched windows; the rest of the building
(nos 21 Clerkenwell Green and 120 Clerkenwell Road) has shop
fronts divided by paired Ionic pilasters on polished granite
bases and carrying consoles which rise through the fascia to
the cornice which breaks forwards over them. The shop fronts
have, apart from the left-hand bay of no 2l, wooden
architraves which may be original. First-floor windows
segmental-arched with segmental dripmoulds and keystones over
some and cornice on consoles over others; second-floor windows
round-arched with keystones, and balcony to eighth from left;
third-floor windows segmental-arched with heads of gauged red
brick and keystones; red brick dressings to quasi-springing
bands on first and second floor and brick banding to third
floor; bracketed cornice; parapet with openwork balustrade and
pediment over eighth bay from left.
