Description
Front elevations of 75-78 Marylebone High Street, Marylebone. Designed by F. M. Elgood and built as a block of flats and retail units in 1905-06 for J. A. Michell, developer, in Neo-Jacobean domestic style. Five storeys in brick with decorative red and white banding, circular and triangular pediments above bay windows on third storeys at numbers 74 and 75, and pedimented gables at numbers 73 and 75. A four-storey brick house, probably built in the early 1840s. Numbers 77-78, built 1902-03 by Goodwyn & Sons, architects, for G. H. & A. Bywaters & Sons, developers. In this view, the ground-floor unit at number 74 is occupied by Twenty One Stationery, a retailer of office equipment. At number 75 is a tobacconist, Peter B Harris Ltd. The blind pulled down in the window has the legend: 'Peter B Harris. Cigar Merchants'. Number 76 is a hairdresser, Hair Plan Ltd. Signs in the window read: 'Wigs by Gay Girl' and 'Vidal Sassoon'. Number 77 is occupied by Sketchley, a dry cleaner. There are three dustbins outside number 76 and one within the doorway, and a sign 'Garage Parking' on a 1960s-style street light in front of the shop. The ground-floor units at numbers 77-78 have been altered, probably in the 1960s, with plain pillars supporting a recessed entrance to Sketchley, a dry cleaner.
