Warner House, at the corner of
Baker's Row and Clerkenwell Street, started life
as a commercial building home to printers, lense
and clothing manufacturers and a storage office
for the Post Office. It is a reinforced
concrete building faced with stock brick.
Apparently the printers continued to operate in
the building until the late 1980s.
The building was
converted between 1993 and 1996 into loft
apartments by Eastglen Property Services
Ltd, in conjunction with GJP Practice and
Vincent Grant Partnership. The
most prominent feature of the refurbishment
was the addition of a steel-framed penthouse
complete with flying butresses. The
brick facade was also rendered white and the
small paned windows were replaced.
