Relatively unknown residential building built by Sir James Stirling.
Built in 1968 by Sir James Stirling in red brick, this building mirrors the History Faculty in Cambridge, also constructed in the same material, in the same year. It has been mooted that his Gloucester Avenue foray into red brick was Stirling's prototype for the somewhat contentious History Faculty.
It is also rumoured that 41 Gloucester Avenue was otherwise notable as home to the underground "Brown Power Movement" which attempted to increase representation of the rights of Asians living in London.
