EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning interior of Unity House, located in Camden, Greater London. The image showcases an original leaded glass domed skylight in the boardroom, providing a glimpse into the exquisite craftsmanship and architectural beauty of this historic building. Unity House served as the headquarters for the National Union of Railwaymen since 1910 until its reconstruction. Laings London Region was awarded the contract to build a new £4.5 million headquarters on this site, incorporating some features from the old building into its modern counterpart. The photograph highlights one such feature - a magnificent leaded cupola skylight that adorned the boardroom. The intricate design and delicate detailing of this dome add elegance and grandeur to the space, creating an atmosphere conducive to important meetings and discussions. The six-storey building was thoughtfully designed around a courtyard and nestled between notable structures like Wellcome Foundation Building and Babcock Building. This prime location on Euston Road further adds to its significance within Greater London's architectural landscape. As we admire this snapshot from the 1980s, it is evident that Unity House stands as a testament to both historical preservation and contemporary innovation.
