This Grade II Listed
building is a former bottle store for the
Camden Brewery. The name comes from
the elephants head emblem of the brewery
displayed in stone over the entrance.
The listing information
describes the building as, " ... a
two storey plus basement building with
two parallel ranges under a double
pitched roof running east-west along the
curve of Hawley Crescent. The building
is constructed of red brick on an
engineering brick plinth with sandstone
and rubbed brick detailing and renewed
slate roofs." On the
inside it had, " ... concrete floors,
with jack-arched vaulting to the ground
floor, are supported by cast iron
columns with bell capitals and concrete
beams. Two original staircases, one of
timber and the other of concrete with a
metal balustrade, survive as do the
timber roof trusses. In the Brewers
Journal of 1901, the building was noted,
unusually for a brewery building, as
having lifts. The lift shafts survive,
but the lifts themselves have been
modernised."
In 2013 the building was
refurbished by Hawkins/Brown to provide
office space to the neighbouring Viacom
building.
