EDITORS COMMENTS
The Savoy Hotel, a London landmark since its opening in 1889, undergoes an unprecedented extension in 1910, as seen in this photograph captioned 'The Building Enveloped by 95,000 feet Run of Scaffold Poles'. This image, taken during the renovation process, depicts the iconic hotel fully engulfed by an extensive network of scaffolds. The Savoy's extension was a world record-breaking project, spearheaded by theatrical impresario and builder of the Savoy Theatre, Richard D'Oyly Carte. With over 95,000 feet of scaffold poles in use, the meticulous renovation work was a testament to the grandeur and ambition of the era. The Savoy Hotel, an emblem of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, continued to uphold its reputation as a symbol of luxury and sophistication amidst the bustling construction site. This photograph, taken by an unknown artist, offers a unique glimpse into the transformation of this iconic London establishment.
