Title
Roofline of Sotheby's auction house in New Bond Street
Description
View looking west, showing the external top-floor roofline of Sotheby's auction house at 34-36 New Bond Street, Mayfair. There is a domed structure in the foreground and a smaller pyramid-shaped structure to the right of the view, which are rooflights above the main viewing galleries. A man can be seen through a partly-opened window. Two buckets and two plastic crates can be seen outside a brick outbuilding. There are three windows in the roof space and some corrugated sheeting. The rear and side elevation of 37 New Bond Street can be seen. Originally an early eighteenth-century terrace house, the building was altered in the mid-nineteenth century to become auction rooms. It had previously been used as galleries for the French artist, Gustave Dore, a parfumiers and a public house called, "The Black Horse". The cellars were used as stores for paintings when it became an auction house. Sotheby's moved to these new premises in 1917. The building is Grade II listed; listing number 1266836.
