1919 – 360-366 Oxford Street, London

Still extant today, the ground floor being used for a single large store, but otherwise largely unchanged. The corner of Stratford Place, a small cul-de-sac off Oxford Street.

From The Building News, September 12 1919: “This work is now about to proceed after great delay ovwing to the war. The question as to how the rebuilding should be done has been the cause of some controversy. Originally it was proposed to make the new building to match as far as possible the London County and Westminster Bank on the opposite side of Stratford Place, but a strongly expressed opinion from residents and others led to the design being made as illustrated, following as closely as possible the original work. The drawing reproduced was exhibited at the Roval Academy this summer. Mr. Arthur Sykes, F.R.I.B.A., of Finsburv Pavement, E.G., is the architect.”
