Stamford House

The Building

Stamford House was designed by the firm Swan and Maclaren in a variation of the Venetian Renaissance style which was popular in commercial buildings in the Victorian period. The design is credited to the architect R.A.J. Bidwell who also designed Raffles Hotel and Goodwood Park Hotel, both of which have been gazetted as national monuments.

The building has a long façade facing Stamford Road, graced with very fine and ornate architectural detailing. It has a Classical, symmetrical composition with a central raised curved pediment and triangular pediments at the ends. Other Classical elements include the keystones arches and second storey Venetian windows. The richly decorated roof balustrade and the elaborate entablature which divide the storeys further enhance the façade.

At the street level, a series of finely detailed timber shopfronts create a distinctive European ambience.
