Description
View of the former Dutch House public house at 148 to 156 High Road, Tottenham, looking east. The locally-listed, Victorian period building, is located in the South Tottenham Conservation Area and is seen in use as clothing factories (Fit-Rite, Jon Lauret, Perrystyles Limited and A K Fashions). The building has a richly decorated facade with a mixture of Gothic and Classical detailing. The ground-floor has a traditional pub front with polished granite pilasters between which are finely detailed timber shopfronts with curved glass and delicate glazing bars. The canted corner of the building at the junction with Crowland Road is dominated by a highly elaborate stucco turret which is in the form of a two storey oriel window with an effusion of fluted Corinthian pilasters. Unfortunately, the turret has lost its original tall conical spire. The upper floors of the main building and the large elaborately decorated theatre at the rear are accessed from an entrance on the High Road frontage that is surmounted by an elaborately decorated first-floor stucco oriel window with Corinthian pilasters and a crenulated parapet above which is a mansarded roof tower. The flank wall of building on the south side of Crowland Roads, has posters advertising Saxa salt, C-Vit, health drink and Vladivar vodka. Number 148 has reverted to a public house 'The Station House' named after the adjacent South Tottenham Station, with a hair studio with flats above, between.
