'Part of the Portman Estate, St Marylebone—For Sale by Auction 1952'
An exceptional working copy of the 1952 sale catalogue for part of the Portman Estate in St Marylebone. Its 179 lots comprised shops, offices, banks, licensed premises, workshops, flats, houses and building sites across Baker Street, Marylebone Road, Crawford Street, Chiltern Street, Paddington Street, Dorset Street, Gloucester Place, Wyndham Place and neighbouring streets. The substantial catalogue contains 117 pages, 18 pages of photographs and a large separate coloured folding estate plan. The first 157 lots carry bidding increments, apparently concluding with hammer prices, while typed and manuscript notes record individual properties and a separate list identifies lessees. Proof and final addenda survive. More than a sale document, it is a unique street-by-street record of post-war property ownership and the dispersal of a major London estate.
