Evergreen House, Euston Road
Curtain-walled slab on a two-storey podium completed in 1970. A definite green vibe here. Even the roof of the podium is covered in greenery. The current name probably derives from the current occupants, a container-shipping company, unless they went looking for a building already called Evergreen.
It was built as the Hearts of Oak Building for the eponymous friendly society (later a building society). The construction method used was innovative and not often repeated. In effect, the building was built from the top down rather than from the bottom up. Pre-stressed tendons were installed through the top of the core which held up the steel floors by means of an umbrella structure bolted through the core to form the roof. The floors were built up at a lower level and then jacked up one after the other and tied to hangers from this structure. Thanks to Jim Thorpe, who led the team installing the tendons, for this information.
I believe a similar method was used for this building, hence the unusual demolition method: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/597645

Fire station and Evergreen House, Euston Road
An interesting juxtaposition. On the left we have a fine example of the London County Council Fire Brigade Branch's stations in an Arts and Crafts style (another one here: Image]) - this one dates from 1901-02. Brick and stone, irregular windows, big chimneys and gables, all very homely, I hope the firemen didn't get too comfy and managed to retain a sense of urgency. Grade II* listed.
Looming over it is Evergreen House, 68 years younger (see also: Image]).
