Description
A chimneypiece in a ground-floor front room at Olympic House, 42 Newington Green, Stoke Newington, also known as Holland House. Carving work in the house was attributed to the master carver Grinling Gibbons. This three-storeyed William and Mary house, built on the junction with Albion Road c1700, was demolished in 1961, the year of this photograph, and redeveloped in 1999 as an elliptical seven-storey block of flats with a ground-floor restaurant. The original eighteenth-century iron gateway and railings survive nearby. They are Grade II listed; listing number 1264879.
