Title
Mayfair House and National Westminster Bank in Carlos Place
Description
A view of the front of Mayfair House at number 14 Carlos Place, Mayfair, with the National Westminster Bank based on the ground floor. Mayfair House is five-storeys and was built in the neo-Georgian style, and was designed by architects Edmund Wimperis and Simpson, and built by the Holloway Brothers in 1921. When it was built, the building contained four flats with one flat on each floor. Mayfair House is one of the few buildings in this area not owned by the Grosvenor Estate. To the left is Adam's Row, with a coach and motor bikes parked at the side of the street. At the end of Adam's Row is an eight-storey residential building in South Audley Street, with ground floor commercial premises at 49-51 South Audley Street. To the right of Mayfair House is part of the neighbouring single-storey building number 13 Carlos Place. The building which contains elements of Romanesque architectural design was designed by E. Vincent Harris and built in 1924 for Major Stephen Courtauld as the racquets court for the neighbouring 47 Grosvenor Square. The property originally contained a bronze statue of St George by A. F Hardiman in a niche on the site of the central entrance arch (part of the arch can be seen in the photograph). In 1935 the statue was removed and taken to the Courtauld family's house at Eltham Hall. The niche was eventually transformed into the entrance visible in the photograph in c1953 when the building became the O'Hana Gallery. Above the entrance is a large 'To Let' sign with the name of the agent written on it. A Group 4 Security Services van is parked on Mount Row.
