View of the Strand
Description
View of 55-57 Strand (south side), City of Westminster. Part of a 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. Three storey buildings over shops and basements. Number 55 is Palfrey and Bowen; a haberdashery with a shuttered shopfront. The other number 55 is occupied by Corona Typewriters. Established in New York in 1886 as the Smith Premier Typewriter Company, their Corona model was so successful that in 1914 the company changed its name. Number 56/57 is a shoe shop selling Saxone, Sorosis and Cable brands. These buildings were demolished, and the site has since been redeveloped into a modern office block with retail units on the ground floor.
