Morphew, Reginald
Morphew, Reginald (1874–1971). English architect, he designed 111–12 Jermyn Street, London (1901–3), described at the time as a ‘Florentine Palazzo’. In 1902 he designed 7–12 Jermyn Street, which had Art Nouveau details on a building in a free, vaguely Tyrolean, style. His work was eclectic, and always interesting.
