London Westminster Adelphi building (#0240)

While searching for another building, a wonderful surprise in Westminster -- the Adelphi building. Completed in 1938 as an office building, with modification in 1993 to increase the height but retain the original design, a wonderful example of Art Deco and particularly of the carved stonework figures used at that time. The building is clad in brick and stone on this (the land-facing) side and in stone on the river-facing side. Following pictures focus on the imagery of the sculpture.
