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 layout of the estate radiating from a rectangular public garden. Red brick, with slight stone dressings and some rendering, slate roofs. Humane, Arts and Crafts socialist housing design inspired by Webb, Lethaby and Smith and Brewer with "Queen Anne" features, all executed to a high standard. Long rectangular block with rear courtyard, at right angles to John Islip Street and with front to Marsham Street. 5 storeys. 18 windows wide with 3-window returns. Cornice-hooded entrances in rear courtyard elevation. Segmental arched flush framed glazing bar sashes and the rendered top floor with close set "weaving shed" casements, the fenestration grouped to express interior distribution. Shallow gable over central break of 6 bays, the roof hipped with flat eaves and shallow pavilion break to west end. The block balances its twin Wilkie House in the group south of the garden (c.f. Boundary Street Estate; Tower Hamlets). A Revolution in London Housing; Susan Beattie.
