Description
Staircase within 55 Strand, City of Westminster. A wooden staircase continuing in short flights around a top-lighted well. Turned balusters and newels with a straight string and panelled dado. On the newel posts are painted the letter 'S', possibly to show that they are to be saved from demolition. Part of a four-storey terrace of houses built c1737 on a site once part of Durham Place, the most easterly of the mansions along the south side of the Strand. In c1911 the building was occupied by Lewis Jacobson and Company, selling bags and trunks, and the ground-floor shop was Palfrey and Bowen, a haberdashery. This building was demolished in 1923 and has since been redeveloped with a modern office block with retail units on the ground floor.
