Photos 22 July 2018

A tower with a #blockofflats attached, or is it the other way round ? ‘La Torelle’, a rather quirky design in #BrightonRoadElwood by #WHMerritt, c1935. Seems the tower was originally open on top, and at least one flat has a great fireplace and another a great bathroom. Ps these photos are from July 2018, seems I never posted them ! I have such a huge backlog…

Merritt also did the block next door with the projecting rounded balconies, perhaps these were don’t together for the same owner ?
