Légende

Street architecture - St. James's new vestry hall, Piccadilly, 1862. 'This building has been erected...for the purpose of providing a more suitable and convenient place in which to hold public meetings. The style adopted for the elevation is Italian, to correspond with, though not to imitate, the exterior of the church, the architect having attempted to produce something that should be simple, bold, and durable; care being taken that the character of a public building should be definitely given. The materials adopted are red bricks and Portland stone...Mr. Howell, surveyor to the vestry, designed the building, and the whole of the works have been satisfactorily executed by Messrs. Mansfield'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
