Not a good day for photographing this building, designed by Sir William Emerson as HQ for the Society in 1907.  Ornamental Passions have a very good post on this and there we learn that the statue on the Great Peter Street corner (to the far right of our photo) is St Paul, who in a vision reported in the Acts of the Apostles was beseeched by a foreigner to come and help.  The Arts Council now occupy the building, the Society having moved to Lambeth in 1987.
