A French chateau on Kentish Town Road whose record names every trade that fitted it out in 1898.
Historic interior
Built in 1898 by Thorpe & Furniss of Camden, in a French chateau style with a tall corner tower. Unusually, the whole workforce is on the record: wrought iron by Jones & Willis, glass by W. James of Kentish Town, plasterwork by the Plastic Decoration Company, joinery by W. A. Antill & Co.
There are five entrances, one of them blocked. The lobbies at either end keep French embossed and brilliant-cut mirrors, wrought-iron screens lettered "AH" and mosaic floors, and most of the frontage windows still have their embossed and cut glass. Inside are the original mahogany fittings, more embossed glass and mirrors, a Jacobean-style moulded plaster ceiling, and over the rear bar - once the billiard room - a lantern with a stained-glass clerestory above it.
The front bar has been altered and the ground floor opened out into one very large room, so the fittings have survived better than the plan. Two beers at most, and often one.
