Title
Houses in Gower Place
Description
View of three-storey with basement houses at 4 and 5 Gower Place in the former Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras. Next to The Harwarden public house at number 3 on the corner with Little Gower Placet, looking south. The houses have panelled front doors with semi-circular fanlights above. The ground floor has compass-headed sash windows with an ashlar banded stucco facade, and railings around the basement lightwell and the bridge over to the main door. The first floor has French windows, with a moulded cornice or gauged brick flat arch above, opening on to a Juliette balcony, surrounded by fine wrought-iron balustrading. The upper storey has matching sash windows beneath a pitched roof. The three-storey public house, on the left, has a carved surround and transom light and a large lantern above the entrance, seen with a suited man in a bowler hat leaning against the jamb. The upper storeys have sash windows, with stucco moulding surrounds, with a cornice above the first floor, and a wrought-iron pot guard above the ground-floor frontage. Signs on the building advertise Bass and Co Burton ale, and [Barclay and Perkins] and Companies, stout and ales. The terrace has since been demolished and replaced by building of the University College London (UCL), now named the Kathleen Lonsdale Building, home to UCL's Department of Earth Sciences. Little Gower Place has been largely built over and is now named Gower Court.
