Mayhew), and the stucco, cornice and armorial (Image]) were added in 1853-57 (probably by Charles Mayhew). The C19th work was done for the Westminster Fire Insurance. Its neighbour was built in 1856-58 by T. Little in a similar style for the same company. Grade II listed. At the time clothing emporia, Moss Bros and The Suit Company.
