Owen, Charles Lanyon's brother-in-law, succeeded his father as
architect to the Board of Works and as such might have been expected
to produce standard designs of unflamboyant character. Instead,
his buildings contrive to be boldly individual, and even the designs
produced by others in his large office (Cat. 143, 144) have a
marked quality of their own.
