Maclise House, Millbank
5.2.70 Estate
G.V. II
LCC housing estate block of flats, 1897-1902, part of one of the first and
most significant of the LCC estates by the Architects' Department housing
section under Owen Fleming and, in this particular case, R. Minton Taylor
who was probably responsible for the estate layout radiating from a
rectangular public garden. Red brick with slight stone dressings, tiled
roofs. Humane, Arts and Crafts socialist housing design inspired by Webb,
Lethaby and Smith and Brewer with "Queen Anne" and Northern European
features, all executed to a high standard. Slightly asymmetrical, shallow
E plan block with rear entrance courtyard, at right angles to John Islip
Street and with front to Marsham Street. 5 storey gabled pavilion wings
and 4 storeys and attic between, and with on the courtyard side a 5 storey
centrepiece with parapeted finish to its outermost bays. Central, angle
buttressed porch with steep pent slate roof and camber arched opening to
changefully designed centrepiece of courtyard elevation. Segmental arched
flush framed glazing bar sashes with varied grouping expressing interior
distribution. Dormers above overhanging eaves. The block balances its
twin Lawrence House in the group south of the garden. (c.f. Boundary
Street Estate; Tower Hamlets)
