This Grade II Listed
building on Grays Inn Road is the Eastman
Dental Clinic, originally part of the Royal
Free Hospital. It derives its name
from its chief benefactor George Eastman,
the founder of the Eastman Kodak
Company. The building was listed in
part because of the fact that it was a
purpose-built specialist clinic that played
an important role in the development of
modern public dental health care. It
is also an example of the work of the
eminent architect Sir John Burnet in
collaboration with Thomas Tait.
The listing comments describe the building's
style as an, "... elegant composition
in the French American Beaux-Arts
tradition with good surviving interior
decoration in the Moderne style."
It features a, "... Central 7-bay
block (which) has arcaded
ground floor with keystones, of which
central 3 bays form engaged portico with
taller central arch carried on Tuscan
columns. Arches to 2 flanking bays are
linked by plain impost bands and have
recessed windows and tympana with
herringbone brickwork and stone lozenge
motif. Groin-vaulted porch. Entrance has
moulded stone architrave and dentilled
cornice."
"Panelled double doors with brass
letterboxes with owl motif; rectangular
fanlight."
