ROAD.
Mausoleum for Sir Albert Sassoon, now public house. 1892.
Stucco. Tent roof of copper. Square in plan with wing to
south.
EXTERIOR: single storey over basement. In imitation of Nash's
Mughal-inspired design of the Royal Pavilion (qv). Elevation
to Saint George's Road is blank, except for a pilaster with
shallow trilobed-arched recess at party wall and at corner.
Cable cornice and lotus parapet continuous. On Paston Place
elevation, piers with a pair of thick pilasters with
trilobed-arched recesses. Flat-arched entrance to right set in
aedicule formed by projecting section of wall and topped by a
trilobed-arch, variously moulded; machicolated parapet above
entrance. To the right of the entrance a lower range
containing a second entrance with cornice and parapet to match
main elevations. Roof circular in plan, supported on a low
panelled drum; metal sheets with rib rolls terminates in
acanthus-leaf and urn finial similar to those found on the
Pavilion. The listing includes the 3-storey, 3-window range
terraced house of irregular plan to the east, which is now the
Hanbury Arms.
HISTORICAL NOTE: Sir Albert lived at No.1 Eastern Terrace
(qv), and was buried here in 1896; his son, Sir Edward, was
interred in 1912. Their remains were removed in 1933 by Sir
Philip, who sold the structure. It served as an air raid
shelter during the war, and became part of the adjacent public
house in 1953.
