BUILDING AT RISK -
April 2017

The building was designed by John Young (1797-1877), the architect of the nearby Cancer Hospital (now the Royal Marsden Hospital) in Fulham Road.  He is known and singled out by Pevsner for his 'exceptional' brickwork.

It is now at imminent risk of demolition by Capco plc, developers of Earl's Court, who want to pull down the whole of Enpress Place and all buildings fronting Lillie Road.

There is a petition to save the building:

SAVE EMPRESS PLACE FROM DEMOLITION

Please consider signing it.
