56 Artillery Lane, Grade I listed building in Spitalfields, London, United Kingdom
The building features one of London's oldest preserved shopfronts, with its distinct architectural elements dating back to the eighteenth century.
Originally constructed in the 1720s for a silk merchant, the structure underwent reconstruction between 1750 and 1756 under architect Robert Taylor's direction.
The property reflects the influence of Huguenot silk merchants in London, serving as a testament to the textile trade heritage of Spitalfields.
The building now functions as part of Raven Row, offering free art exhibitions to visitors in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed historical layers of the structure before its transformation into a contemporary art space.
