Middle Temple’s buildings are an interesting mix of differing ages (from the 17th to the 20th century), architectural styles and construction methods. Located around open courtyards and gardens, they create a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. The 4 Brick Court building, designed by architect J.P. St. Aubyn, was built from red bricks and Portland stone in 1882.
