London - British Medical Association, Burton Street front from NE 2014-10-15

London - British Medical Association, Burton Street front from NE 2014-10-15
Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens from 1911 as the headquarters of the British Theosophical Society, with which his wife was closely involved, but incomplete when requisitioned by the War Office during World War I and completed for the British Medical Association in 1923-5. Presumably a carved tablet was intended above the central window, with carved features at the ends of the façade, but these have never been executed and have been left as what the listing calls "boasted work": list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1378968 .
