William Scott & Company Warehouse (Lindencort House) 34 Charlotte Street

The least ornate of Walter's warehouses in Charlotte Street, the building was supposedly built for William Scott and Company, although reference to this firm has yet to be found. Constructed of brick with stone dressings, the decorative elements within the composition were reduced to a minimum, being restricted to the entrance doorways only.
