Harley House

Harley House is an Edwardian mansion block development on Marylebone Road in the Marylebone area of London.

History and description

The building was built first in 1905 and named for a house that formerly occupied the site. Designs were provided by Boehmer & Gibbs in a Jacobean or Renaissance Revival style. Their designs were possibly inspired by the nearby Cambridge Gate built by Archer & Green to which Boehmer and Gibbs were assistants; the building's grand facade is similarly fronted with Bath stone. The building also formed a template for the firm's later work in Portland Court.

In 1924, an extension was added by William & Edward Hunt, consisting of twelve flats over six floors. The added section was rendered in a differing style to the original block. Musician Mick Jagger formerly lived in the block.
