Name: EMI Buildings
Date: 1927-29
Architect: Wallis, Gilbert and Partners
Borough: Hillingdon
Listing:-
Notes: A combination of buildings used for the manufacturing and distribution of records, firstly by Gramophone Company, who would become EMI in 1930 after a merger. Wallis, Gilbert and Partners modernised the site, designing an extension to the Cabinet building, and a new Record store and a Shipping building, as well as other extensions. The new buildings were designed in an elegant art deco style, with none of the overt decoration of their Hoover or Firestone buildings.
