This amazing (and the day I was visiting, tragically backlit and sunstruck) building at 109 Marylebone High Street features stunning Victorian facade decorated with several bands of chimeric figures, both human and animal.
Blasterz are no experts, but this area of the street looks like it dates from the late 19th century to us. We have not been able to finds out any information on the actual date of the building, (Our old trick of searching property appraisal records doesn't work in the UK, where you have to be registered and pay a fee.) Several nearby buildings date from the 1860s to the 1910s. We think the waymarked building dates from not later than 1890s.
