Nos 33 and 35 Eastcheap, City of London, Greater London
This building is possibly one of the most remarkable and dramatic examples of Gothic style seen in a commercial building. It caused a sensation in its day and was widely reported in the building press. It was built in 1868 and designed by R L Roumieu at a cost of £8,170. It has been described as having 'a frenzy of sharp gables'. It was the London depot for a company called Hill & Evans, vinegar-makers of Worcester. Eastcheap was originally the site of a market and this was one of a number of warehouses built here in the 1860s. In 1987 the ground floor arcade and iron gates were re-created.
