Appraisal

No. 61, Shelton Street

Unlike other bomb-damaged properties nearby, the upper part of the original, early-19th century, three-storey plus mansard, two-bay, London Stock brick-faced elevation appears to have survived and extended down to street level to good effect in brick, with two tall glazed openings – the taller with a soldier-arch, the lower with a modestly recessed lintel. However, the composition is spoilt by the fixed-light casements set in the window openings at first and second floor levels. A neat internally-illuminated sign projects above the entrance in the lower of the two openings at ground floor level.

A building that neither contributes to nor detracts from the character, appearance or significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

The appearance of the property would be massively enhanced by the removal of the existing fixed-casement windows at first and second floor levels and their replacement with traditionally-detailed, subdivided sash windows set in rebated jambs.
