No. 72–74 (consec.) Dean Street: Royalty House
This block of offices (Plate 139b) was erected in 1954–5 to a design by T., P. H. and E. Braddock and completed in 1959. (fn. 1) It has a wellmannered front of simple Georgian character, four storeys high and nine windows wide, built of fawn-coloured facing bricks sparingly dressed with stone, used for the Doric open-pedimented porch to the central entrance, for the ground-floor window keystones and first-floor bandcourse, and for the parapet coping. Carved figures in the tympanum of the doorway, and masks at the ends of the first-floor bandcourse serve to recall the theatrical associations of the site. The original domestic character of the street has been skilfully maintained by the scale of the plain window-openings, and by the vertical division of the front into three equal parts by handsome hopper-heads and rainwater-pipes of cast lead.
