Euston Arch London
Demolished
Designed by Philip Hardwick

Designed by Philip Hardwick
Completed 1838,
Demolished 1961
A statement of modernism and a symbol of building links between London and the North. The Euston Arch was the centrepiece of Euston Station, the world’s first main line terminus in a capital city.
More Info
Built on a huge scale, it symbolised modernity and new links between London and the North.
It was the first great monument of the railway age, which Britain pioneered.
The arch was designed in the Greek Revival style, standing 70 feet high. Being factually correct, the structure was not an arch at all, but a propylaeum or ‘gateway’.
It was modelled on the famous Propylaeum at the Acropolis in Athens, built in c. 450 BC.
But the arch was no copy or pastiche – it was an inspired interpretation of great refinement, also drawing on Roman buildings such as the gate to the Roman Agora in Athens.
Yet the Euston Arch also, in its ingenious and pioneering construction, expressed pride and confidence in its own age. Although inspired by ancient Greek architecture and apparently of traditional masonry construction, the Arch was in fact modern in conception and incorporated much structural ironwork.
The Arch was demolished in 1962 after a failed campaign to save it, most of the stones from the Arch ended up at the bottom of the river Lea in east London.
The model represents what the proposed rebuilt arch would look like, being built between the two lodges on Euston Square overlooking the Euston Road.
The lodges are all that remain of the old station.
The model is made from plaster with details in etched brass. In the centre of the plinth can be seen the names of the locations where the trains from Euston used to serve.
These names can be seen for real on the two lodges.
This model is hand made to order and may take 4 weeks to produce. If you require this model urgently please contact the workshop directly.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Designed by Richard Morris Hunt
When – 1902
Where – New York, US
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest art museums in the world.
More Info
It was granted the land between East Park drive, Fifth Avenue and the 79th & 85th roads of Central Park in 1871.
Calvert Vaux designed the original red-brick and stone ‘mausoleum’ in collaboration with Jacob Wrey Mould which is now hidden from view.
In 1894 Richard Morris Hunt began the design for the new central section, which he continued to work on until his death in 1895.
His son Richard Howland Hunt then took up the project accompanied by George B. Post and the design was completed in 1902.
The high Victorian Gothic style was not well received however as the style had gone out of favour by the time it was the finished.
The project was deemed a ‘mistake’ and within 20 years a new plan which engulfing the old building was built along with many more additions over the years.

US Capitol Washington
Designed by William Thornton and expanded by Henry Latrobe, Charles Bullfinch & Thomas Ustick Walter
When – 1793
Where -Washington, USA
When – 1793
Where -Washington, USA
More Info
The Capitol was originally designed by William Thornton in 1793, rebuilt after the 1814 fire and expanded over many years (by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Charles Bulfinch and Thomas Ustick Walter).
Thornton’s scheme was in the Anglo-Palladian tradition of a half-century earlier and called for a central Pantheon-type saucer dome.
The Capitol’s most defining feature today, Walter’s enormous cast-iron dome, was added in 1860-63 to replace a lower dome, reconstructed after the 1814 fire.
