New offices of the Metropolitan Board of Works in Spring-Gardens, 1860. Creator: Unknown
New offices of the Metropolitan Board of Works in Spring-Gardens, [London], 1860. The facade is imposing in extent, and of good proportions. Designed in the Palladian style of architecture, it shows considerable skill and careful study in its details...the principal entrance...with the windows above, is treated with more ornamentation than the rest of the building...The principal doorway gives entrance to a good-sized hall, a door from which leads to a large oval staircase, right and left of which runs a corridor...on each side of which are ranged the various offices and apartments - as the Metropolitan Improvement Office, architect's office, engineers offices, accountants offices, rating clerk's office, clerk of the works office, record-keeper's office, fireproof strong rooms, committee-rooms, &c...The building seems very conveniently planned, each department being kept to itself as much as possible; and the execution, in all particulars, has been most carefully carried out, and is very creditable to the contractor, Mr. George Myers. The architect is Mr. Frederick Marrable, who has received very worthy and painstaking assistance from his chief clerk and draughtsman, Mr. Britton'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
