View of a ground-floor room towards the rear, from beneath the circular wind stair of 12 Austin Friars, City of London. The house is under renovation, seen with items of building fabric (including radiators, pipes, fixtures and fittings) removed and stored around the walls, a fireplace protected with temporary plywood cladding, along with a stack of chipboard and other sheet materials, buckets, bins, brushes and building tools. Various items of discarded furniture and piles of building debris are also visible. The room has a number of small windows barricaded with corrugated iron sheeting. The soffit of the stair, visible at the top right-hand corner, and the ceiling, seen with glazed roof lights and hanging chains (with strip lighting removed), are decorated with plaster moulded panels. The 1883 four-storey building is Grade II listed, listing number 1191447 and was formerly the office of Martin Burn Limited, estate agent (based in Kolkata), and the Indian Iron and Steel Company Limited, named Martin Burn House, and since renamed 'Furniture Makers' Hall', an events venue.
