From: L. B. HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM CONSERVATION AREA No. 44 HAMMERSMITH ODEON CHARACTER PROFILE:
“46 & 48 FULHAM PALACE ROAD
5.14 On the corner of York Place are Nos. 46 & 48, a public house built in 1933 as the Duke of Cornwall to a design by architects F. J. Fisher & Sons, which replaced an earlier one known in 1851 as the Duke of York. It has a symmetrical front elevation of three storeys in red brick with a parapet raised in the centre, which originally supported the name letters, and features a tall central flagpole. Three wide bands of stone at window level continue across the side elevation. There are four painted timber sliding sash windows with continuous soldier arch lintels acting as string courses, a feature repeated at parapet level. The ground floor retains its original polished grey and black granite Art Deco pub-front comprising stall-risers, pilasters, and fascia with a broad shallow pediment. It still has its original central double doors and painted timber frames with metal windows within, some on the side elevation still with their Art Deco zig-zag metal glazing bars in the top lights. There is a large projecting swan neck bracket and lantern over the main entrance.”
