Market Square Court - Did You Know?

London Architect Peregrine Bryant’s 2005 west courtyard addition to Howard Van Doren Shaw’s 1917 Krafft’s Drug Store Building, immediately south of Market Square, 1916. This passageway portion between the 1917 east section and a new office wing west was designed to face into the former Market Square alley, since the 1980s John Vinci designed rehabilitation, a courtyard. This classic English Renaissance north face of this passageway— inside a kind of winter garden—uses a simple though formal design to elevate this space as a destination, now the context for a Starbucks cafe terrace. Bryant has done work for King Charles III, who has promoted traditional style in Britain. This was commissioned by the late Howard Adams’ early 21st century Baytree Bank, now Federal Savings Bank. This sort of modestly scaled simple though elegant infill building suggests the way smaller Bank Lane projects could enhance that streetscape.
