RIBA At 9 Conduit Street

1887-1909 Conduit Street was converted into the headquarters of Royal Society of British Architects (RIBA) and still retains its plaque and crest in the entrance hall. During this time RIBA/AA hosted a competition to re-design the 18th century façade design and although this was never realized, the RIBA archive at the V&A retains some of the competition proposal drawings.

    The last time I saw Paris
    Her heart was warm and gay,
