The Institute of Archaeology building was designed by the architects Booth, Ledeboer and Pinckheard, built by the Islington-based construction company Dove Brothers, and formally opened in 1958. While the exterior is comparatively unchanged (Fig. 1), the following photographs from the Institute’s archives (Figs. 2-4), compare the appearance of parts of the interior in 1958 with how they look now. In most cases some original features are still visible.
