sps1955's photos with the keyword: Burton Street

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 .

Terraces by the builder James Burton (1761-1837), begun in 1809 and completed by 1820, face each other across the street. The buildings closing the street at its southern end are not listed and do not feature in the Survey of London ; they appear to be recent "contextual" infill.
