Burdon House

Burdon House is a building constructed in 1916 for the North Eastern Railway, featuring shops and offices. It is built of ashlar stone and has a roof that is not visible, with ashlar chimneys. The structure stands three storeys high and has a facade with ten windows across and three windows down. The ground floor is rusticated and includes pilasters that frame a door in the ninth bay, which is topped by a high overlight and set in a round-headed surround with hollow reveals. This door supports a shop entablature with fascia name boards.

Above, giant pilasters on the upper floors rest on moulded brackets and frame pairs of sash windows. The lower windows are set in architraves, while the upper ones have keyed segmental-headed architraves on moulded sills with plain rectangular aprons. The top entablature features a dentilled cornice that supports a balustraded roof parapet. The low-pitched roof has corniced end ashlar chimneys. The right return of the building is similar in design, while the left return features a central three-light mullioned and transomed window flanked by two-storey shallow bow tripartite oriel windows.
