Title
Interior of Capel House in New Broad Street
Description
A view of the ground-floor front office area inside the Grade II listed Capel House at 58-62 New Broad Street, City of London as seen from the small reception area. The photo was likely taken during re-furbishment work as indicated by the temporary ply wood walls and ceiling. A wire with attached light bulb can be seen hanging from the ceiling. To the far right of the photograh is the ply wood wall to the left of the building's entrance. Part of the wall and the floor is covered with decorating sheet. By the window is a large empty filing cabinet with open shutter and large wooden panels can be seen resting against the wall to the left of the window. On the frame around the window has been pasted sheets of newspaper. Near the cabinet is a wooden step ladder, a wooden decorating trestle and an open cardboard box. Long metal poles can be seen to the left of the room along with an open box containing light coloured tiles. Capel House of 1905-1906 was designed by Paul Hoffman with the ground floor altered by the Arts and Crafts architect C.F.A Voysey in around 1909-1910 for the Essex and Suffolk Equitable Insurance Company. The building survives and became known as Cable House. It is not known how much of the original and re-furbished interior survive.
