Description
A view of Queen Square House in Queen Square, Holborn, with the side of Queen Court (an early twentieth-century block of flats) visible on the left of the photograph. Queen Square House appears to date from the eighteenth century and contains Georgian features such as stone dressing around the ground floor windows and tall first-floor windows with small panes of glass within the window frames. Georgian houses can be seen in the distance in Guildford Street. Other building features include sash windows, lead-lined casement windows, chimney stacks, chimney pots, drain pipes, metal railings in front of the buildings, and a wire mesh fence which covers part of the alleyway between the buildings. A porch with columns and a side archway extends across the alley in front of the building. Near the buildings can be seen bushes, part of a tree, and a red public telephone box. Queen Court still exists but Queen Square House has been replaced by the twentieth-century UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, which is also called Queen Square House.
