Légende

New chapel at Westminster, [London], 1865. 'The new chapel in James-street, Buckingham-gate, near the Wellington Barracks, which has been erected for the Congregational flock of the Rev. Samuel Martin, was opened last summer; and the building of the vestries and other adjoining offices is just finished. We give an Illustration of the exterior, with its lofty tower, or campanile, which is seen most conspicuously in Victoria-street, Pimlico, above the small houses that surround it...The architect was Mr. W. F. Poulton...and the building contract, for the sum of £12,758, has been executed by Messrs. Myers and Sons. As an adaptation of the Lombardic style of architecture to a building with convenient accommodation for 3000 persons, and with the best possible structure for acoustic purposes, it must be considered remarkably successful. The campanile, at the corner of James-street and Castle-lane, is 164 ft. high...The materials are stock bricks, with red bricks in the bands and cornices, and Bath-stone dressings'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
