Dorset House was built between 1934 and 1935 on a single street block with frontages to Marylebone Road, Glentworth Street, Melcombe Street and Gloucester Place. This is the view from Dorset Square looking at the north-west corner with Melcombe Street on the left and Gloucester Place to the right. With its 185 flats above an underground parking garage, a ground floor fuel filling station, restaurant and 16 shops, Dorset House is considered to be one of the most impressive Moderne style complexes of flats built in central London, and as such warrants Grade II Listed Building status.
