Built in 1905 this unusual building was designed by C. Stanley Peach, assisted by C. H. Reilly for the Westminster Electric Supply Corporation. It was to cost the Corporation £4,000 for a sixty year lease at an annual rent of £200. As it was constructed over a communal garden square, the design incorporated a roof garden which had trees and plants in tubs. The roof garden is said to be the only place in London where quarrelling is specifically forbidden by law.
