Senate House, University of London, as seen from Store Street in 1938: A Stunning Architectural Masterpiece of the 1930s This photograph, taken in 1938, showcases the iconic Senate House building of the University of London, as viewed from Store Street. Designed by the renowned Australian-born architect, Charles Holden, and completed in 1937, this modernist masterpiece was an instant architectural sensation. The Senate House, a central hub of the University of London, is a magnificent blend of Art Deco and functionalist design. Its imposing presence, with its tall, rectangular tower and intricate detailing, stands as a testament to the architectural innovations of the 1930s. The building's facade is adorned with intricate carvings, geometric patterns, and ornate sculptures, creating a visually stunning composition. The photograph captures the building's unique character, with its dark, imposing exterior contrasting against the bright, sunlit storefronts of the neighboring buildings on Store Street. The image also highlights the building's impressive scale, as it towers over the surrounding structures, making it a dominant feature of the London skyline. The Senate House was not only a symbol of architectural excellence but also a functional powerhouse. It housed the University of London Senate, the central academic body of the university, as well as the Senate House Library, which was one of the largest and most comprehensive research libraries in the UK. The building's design was intended to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among scholars, making it a vital part of the academic community in London. This photograph, taken in 1938, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural brilliance of Charles Holden and the enduring legacy of the Senate House building.
