Mitre House, Brighton

Apartments near the seaside.

Constructed for International Stores in 1935, Mitre House In Brighton was designed by J. Stanley Beard & Bennett. Located in Western Road, it is mixed use with shops below and a six-storey block of flats above. As with many apartment blocks in England from this time there is a fine interplay between the brick and stone facings. The balconies are all faced with stone and rise from the second floor.

Mansfield Court, Nottingham

The entrance is an axis of symmetry.

A stylish, 1930s Nottingham apartment block, Mansfield Court’s look of broad, horizontal bars of contrasting brown brick and white render appears to be unique in the city, though there are several similar apartments in London, particularly in the west. You can find it on Mansfield Road in the Sherwood area of Nottingham.
