View of Ovington Square
Description
View of 2-20 Ovington Square, Kensington. These houses were built by William Willmer Pocock from 1844 to 1850 for Elizabeth Standerwick; also known as Baroness Von Zandt. A typical nineteenth-century stucco terrace with many interesting architectural features including Doric columns at the open porches, a stone balustrade at the first floor and iron railings. Number 2 is in the background and 22 is in the foreground with the estate agent’s board; the agent is Ruck and Ruck. The sign is advertising ‘investment with conversion potential’ so it must have been a single house at the time with the potential to be converted into flats. 22-26 Ovington Square can just be seen on the extreme right edge of the photo. It is a block of flats built in 1957 after World War II when a bomb demolished that part of the original terrace. The architect was Walter Segal. A better view of it can be seen on image number 85880.
