Pevsner called this "the last gasp of classicism", because it was built as late as 1926. In fairness, some of the features (such as blocks projecting above the parapet) nod towards Art Deco/Moderne style. Designed by Stanley Birkett, Refuge Assurance's house architect. It was largely occupied by Molloy's bar with offices above.
