Westminster Improvements - New Houses in the Broad Sanctuary, 1854. Victorian Gothic buildings near Westinster Abbey in London, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. 'The mass of building consists of eight houses, one of which forms the Gate Tower to Dean's-yard...Had they not been in such close contact with the Abbey, [Scott] would, probably, have ventured upon rather a more free treatment of the style, and a less rigid adherence to ancient character...The bold Gatehouse in the centre gives the whole at first sight somewhat of the appearance of a public building; but the architect has attempted to obviate this by endeavouring to make the subdivision into individual houses as evident as possible; and by giving considerable variety of feature to the different parts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
