However, his best-known project was the Law Courts (now the Royal Courts of Justice) in the Strand, London, for which a competition was conducted in 1866-67. The construction did not begin until 1874, however, and was only completed in 1882, a year after Street's death. The building was considered an artistic milestone and The Times predicted in 1867 that it would be "a perpetual monument of English art as understood and practiced in the latter half of the 19th century." The design of the building beautifully illustrates that a picturesque Gothic style could be used for a modern secular building.Street also designed much of the furniture for the more important rooms in the building, which was manufactured by several companies, Holland and Sons; Gillows & CoSide Chair.
