This is the west façade of the Grade II Listed B G Elliott Hall. It was built in 1904 and was the assembly hall to the much larger, but now demolished, building of the Royal Commercial Travellers' School. The site of the demolished school building is now occupied by a Morrison's supermarket. The building was named after B G Elliott, formerly a pupil and a scholar at the school, who was President of the Committee tasked with the funding and building of the hall. The school closed in 1967 and is currently in use as the Harrow Arts Centre. The English Heritage Listed Buildings website describes it thus:- "1904 by H O Cresswell. Formerly Royal Commercial Travellers' School. Neo-Tudor, 9-bays with cross wing at east end. Red brick with stone dressings. Mullion and transom windows. Entrance at west end in single-storey wing of 7 bays under a traceried west window. Square corner towers dominate the west end with a connecting balustered walkway spanning the gabled elevation."
