SS15 Richmond St, London

SS15 Richmond St. London

This is Richmond Street north of King Street. Szeminykei Kirwin Mackenzie Law Firm on left is a little modern, but makes an interesting contrast to the historic Richmond Tavern. This is what I have found out about this local watering hole ... the original building was constructed in 1852 and at the time was called the Revere House. 10 years later, the building was doubled in size and became known as the Richmond Hotel. This establishment has been continuously operating for over 150 years.

First refernece drawing completed on location, this one completed with photo reference..  A great space - the tables in front of market makes location drawing convenient.
