Kinnaird House, built on the site of the former home of Lord Kinnaird in 1915, was an Edwardian bank and offices designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and Arthur Driver. Blomfield was classically trained, hated Ruskin at Oxford, set up a short-lived furniture business with Gimson, Lethaby and others, and settled into a country house building career in the Queen Anne arts and crafts idiom of which his own house at Point Hill, Rye is a good example. He went on to design projects in London, including Regent Street, and Kinnaird House, in the French and English renaissance taste. He wrote books on French renaissance architecture.
 
Kinnaird House, was built after the 11th Lord Kinnaird, Arthur Fitzgerald, of Ransom Bouverie & Co joined forces with Barclays bank. He was an evangelical churchman, president of the YMCA (founded by his mother) and was a keen footballer, playing in the FA Cup finals no less than nine times, in positions ranging from goalkeeper to forward.
 
UK Architectural Antiques of Staffordshire has acquired a pine panelled room removed from one of the rooms at Kinnaird House, presumably when it was the subject of gutting and facade retention in 2001, resulting in the creation of 90,000sqft of column-free offices organised around a central serrvice core. The roof was reslated with unfading green Vermont slate from Fair Haven.
 
UKAA has the panelled room for sale on its website.
