Description
Coronation Buildings is a Grade II listed office building located at No. 65 on the Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne. Built around 1902 for Pyman Bell and Co., the rear half of the building has been demolished, while the front range was restored around 1982. The structure is made of ashlar sandstone with a granite plinth and entrance columns, topped with a Welsh slate roof.
Designed in a symmetrical Art Nouveau Baroque style, the building stands three storeys high with an attic and features five windows. The ground floor showcases rustications that form voussoirs to wide round-arched windows, which flank a doorway topped with a semicircular pedimented hood supported by Ionic columns. The side windows are plain below serpentine stone balconies on the first floor. The upper windows are framed in architraves, with the first-floor windows featuring triple keystones and pediments, the inner ones being segmental. The second-floor windows have rusticated architraves and are divided by Ionic half-columns. The outer bays are framed with giant Ionic pilasters, and the building is capped with a strong modillioned and dentilled top entablature below an attic that has three pedimented gables, with the outer ones being rounded.
