History of 19 Upper Brook Street W1 The house assumed its present ornate internal appearance in 1903-4, as a result of the ambition of Arthur W. Davis, probably a merchant with South African connections. Davis commissioned a very costly internal reconstruction in the Empire style from the architects W. H. Romaine-Walker and Besant, and the decorators Charles Mellier and Company, who employed French workmen on the job. Apart from the enclosure of the portico, the works by Romaine-Walker and his associates were all internal and survive substantially, despite partitioning. There is a marble floor to the entrance hall and a curving central staircase of some elegance. The reception rooms are good examples of the French taste of the Edwardian years, particularly the drawing-rooms at first-floor level, which parade with rich gilded ornament.
