EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the proposed design for Dominion House, located on the Strand in London, as conceptualized by architect A. Randall Wells in 1913. The image, published in the Illustrated London News on December 5, 1913, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the building that was intended to stand as a testament to the British Dominions. Dominion House was envisioned as a symbol of unity and connection among the self-governing territories of the British Empire. The design features a striking blend of classical and modern architectural elements, with a grandiose façade adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. The building's central tower rises majestically, reaching towards the sky, while the surrounding wings offer ample space for offices and other commercial establishments. The illustration also reveals the meticulous attention to detail that went into the design of Dominion House. From the ornate balconies and windows to the intricate stonework and sculpted figures, every aspect of the building was intended to evoke a sense of grandeur and importance. The use of natural materials, such as stone and marble, adds to the building's sense of durability and permanence. Unfortunately, the proposed design for Dominion House was never realized. The outbreak of World War I in 1914 put an end to the construction plans, and the site remained undeveloped for many years. Today, the Strand in London continues to be an important commercial and cultural hub, but the vision of Dominion House as a symbol of the British Dominions remains an intriguing piece of architectural history.
