EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Bush House, an American addition to post-war London in the 1930s. Designed by renowned American architect Harvey Wiley Corbett, this architectural marvel stands tall on Kingsway in central London. The inscription proudly reads "To the Friendship of English-Speaking Peoples" symbolizing the strong bond between America and Britain. The official opening of Bush House took place on 4th July 1925, coinciding with American Independence Day. Throughout its history, this magnificent building served as a broadcasting hub for BBC programs from 1941 until 2012. Its significance in the media industry cannot be overstated. The image showcases the neo-classical design elements that were popular during that era. The grand entrance is flanked by majestic pillars, exuding elegance and sophistication. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost feel yourself transported back to a time when communication was evolving rapidly. This snapshot is part of "Wonderful London, Volume 2" edited by Arthur St John Adcock - a publication that beautifully encapsulates various aspects of British culture and architecture. As we admire this historic gem captured through Donald McLeish's lens, it serves as a reminder of how buildings like Bush House continue to shape our cities' landscapes while preserving their rich heritage for future generations to appreciate.
