Description
View of 64 Strand (south side), City of Westminster. Part of a three- and 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 and home to the Bishops of Durham since 1220. On the corner with Durham Street, the ground floor shop at number 64 is vacant with a shop sign for 'Turnbull and Reakes, Tailors'. Another sign announces that they were 'Removing to 37 Southampton Street, facing the Hotel Cecil from March 23rd 1923'. In 1895 it had been occupied by Crabb and Perry, Tailors. These buildings were demolished in 1923 and the site redeveloped into an office block with retail units on the ground floor, later occupied by Burtons Menswear. Just visible on the left, a man sits on the steps of The Tivoli Picture Theatre at 63-73 Strand. Originally built in 1890, it was demolished in 1916 for a proposed road widening scheme, but later rebuilt on the same site and reopening in 1923. Designed by Bertie Crewe and Gunton and Gunton, for a company chaired by James White, and leased to Metro Goldwyn Meyer, it eventually in 1956 and in 1957 was demolished to make way for a branch of the Peter Robinson Fashion Store.
