Description
No. 3 Akenside Hill is an office building dating from around 1880. It features polychrome brick with ashlar dressings and has a graduated dark slate roof. The building is three storeys high and consists of three bays. The outer bays have doors that are topped with cornices and drip moulds. The central window on the ground floor has slender glazing bars and is set under a high wide arch with a continuous drip string above the windows over the doors. All ground-floor drips are adorned with flower stops and brackets. There is a cornice at the ground-floor level. Pilasters flank the first-floor sashes, which also have drip strings. The second floor features a central round-headed window with a curved projecting sill supported by a bracket, along with cartouches flanking the windows. The top entablature is decorated with long dentils, and the attic sash is framed by pilasters and a cornice, topped with a semi-circular pediment that has a carved tympanum and a finial.
