Abstract: |
In March 2013 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of locally listed St. Anthony's House, 25 Bow Road, London Borough of Tower Hamlets prior to its demolition. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in accordance with a condition placed on Conservation Area Consent by Tower Hamlets Council. The house, which was constructed in the early-19th century, is illustrative of the rapid development of the London suburbs for the wealthy middle class professionals and businessmen at the time. A fairly modest house, it had two reception rooms and two bedrooms, and accommodation for servants on the upper floor; services would have been located in the basement. Its original layout is largely preserved, and a number of original fixtures and fittings which are characteristic of the Regency period survive including the staircase, first floor fireplace, cornices, door architraves and some shutters. It is known from Ordnance Survey mapping that the building was extended to the north at some point between 1869-76 and 1896. This addition no longer survives, though some of the windows appear to date from this broad period. Later alterations within the building can largely be associated with its conversion to use as offices, and include the insertion of a WC on the first floor, partitioning to enclose the staircase, the replacement of the doors with fire-doors and the addition of the fire-escape. |
