Title
Surrey House in Temple Place
Description
View of Surrey House in Temple Place, between Surrey Street and Norfolk Street, Westminster. Surrey House and Norfolk Street, which used to run parallel to Surrey Street to the east, no longer exist; a modern hotel development now stands on the site. Surrey House is shown here as a striking building with a mixture of styles including medieval and gothic. The roofline and chimneys are particularly ornate and there is an octangular castellated tower with a domed cupola, both bristling with gargoyles and grotesques. There is elaborate carved stone fenestration to the ground and first floors and either side of the main entrance stairs are two elaborate lanterns, almost Moroccan in appearance. The rainwater hopper on the right appears to have the date 1887 on it. A gentleman wearing a bowler hat poses, holding onto the railings, to the right, and behind him, on the corner, stands a boy.
