Skilbeck's Warehouse, Victorian warehouse in Upper Thames Street, London, England
The building features twin pointed bays beneath a single Gothic arch and gable, with exposed cast iron elements in the window frames.
Constructed in 1866 by architect William Burges for the Skilbeck Brothers, who operated as drysalters in London since the mid-seventeenth century.
The structure incorporated Gothic architectural elements, including a crane supported by a corbel carved as an Oriental figure and a circular ship window.
The warehouse location in Upper Thames Street placed it near the central trading areas of Victorian London, facilitating maritime commerce operations.
Charles Locke Eastlake recognized this warehouse as one of the few successful implementations of Gothic architecture adapted for commercial purposes.
