Description
|
This
Grade II Listed building, at the junction of
Blenheim Street and Woodstock Street, (hence the
name) started life in 1937 as offices and
showroom that were occupied in part by Phillips
Auctioneers. The steel framed building is
clad in buff faience with highlights in yellow
and peach. The listing information says
that, "... The frontage is
composed of a curved stair tower to the left
and three bay elevation set back to the
right. The former has a tall window on its
curved edge, this with continuous
full-height yellow faience mullions, stone
sills, horizontal metal glazing bars and
bent glass panes. The latter has a central
projecting vertical window, also with bent
glass, metal frames and stone sills, flanked
by horizontal rectangular windows to each of
the three upper floors."
As you can see from these
images, taken in August 2015, the present
occupant of the building is Bonhams.
They took over in 2001.
