| Description: | Circa 1870. Stock brick, stucco dressings, Welsh slate roofs. The studios occupy the sites and much of the buildings of the former Cranley Mews, laid out in 1844 to serve the houses on Onslow Square. Two long, irregular ranges, mostly of 2 storeys, rising by half a storey in places to give extra studio height. The ranges are linked by a long central corridor. Some sash windows with glazing bars, some small paned casements, mostly with segmental heads. Walls partly stuccoed. Impressive entrance of 4-panel door with sidelights, patterned head bands, fanlight in rusticated pedimented surround. Listed mainly for historical reasons as the workplace of the many important artists, among them Edward Poynter, Alfred Gilbert, Philip Wilson Steer, and Joseph Boehm, successor in Royal patronage to Baron Marocchetti, the first artist to turn part of the mews into a studio. |
