The site, part of the St John's College North Oxford estate, was first considered for a theatre. [1] In 1932, a mixed-development scheme of shops, offices, [3] and flats, was selected. An initial design by J. C. Leeds was rejected. The final block was designed by Ernest R. Barrow and built in 1936. Belsyre Court was the first large block of flats in Oxford. [2] It was built of brick in a Jacobethan style. An Inland Revenue office was located here from 1936 until the early 1990s.
The building was Grade II listed in 2008. [4]
