Frank Verity

[1] Both Veritys brought an interest in ornate Second Empire-style architecture to their early buildings, developing this into grand Beaux Arts in their later works.

[1] Many of the surviving buildings have achieved recognition in the late 20th century, becoming listed for their architectural significance.

Works include no 5 Lisle Street in London's Chinatown, with stepped gables and terracotta cladding.

The building was the London office of Pathe films, then later a hospital[2] and now a restaurant.

In 1915 he was the architect of a block of flats on the site of the former Somerset House on Park Lane, the first such building in that important street.
