Location
At the time Shoreham was built, it was the epitome of modernism. Overlooking the sea, the 3-storey apartments have a waterfall-style frontage, typical of the style. Shoreham’s name is taken from the Shoreham Hotel in Washington DC, built in 1930. The original proprietor of these apartments, Mrs. E. Kiernan, took a liking to the name during a holiday spent at the hotel in Washington. Shoreham was built in 1938.
