LIBRARY, Jewry Street. Built
as the Corn Exchange in 1836-8. By O.B. Carter, evidently a man of
considerable talent and character. Yellow brick and white ashlar.
Classical but with pronounced Italianate roofs, i.e. low pitches and deep
eaves. Even the square turret in the middle has one. The turret is placed
behind the central portico, inspired by Inigo Jones's St Paul, Covent
Garden, with its Tuscan columns and its Etruscanly deep eaves to the
pediment. Three-bay links with arched windows to end pavilions. ... |
