Description

Mawdsley Hall is a shop and office building located on Mawdsley Street in Bolton, constructed in 1865. The building features an ashlar facade and a slate roof. It stands three stories tall and has a four-window range facing Mawdsley Street, with a ten-window return on Exchange Street, showcasing an Italianate Palazzo style.

The ground floor is arcaded, supported by rusticated pilasters that separate flat arched openings. There is a doorway with a stone architrave on the left side of the Mawdsley Street elevation that leads to a staircase for the upper floors. The shop front details between the pilasters in the other bays have been renewed. The upper floors are divided into bays by pilasters, with paired windows on either side of the Mawdsley Street elevation. The windows are arranged in a 2-4-4 grouping on the Exchange Street return. A polished granite central shaft with foliate capitals supports segmentally arched windows, which feature stressed keystones. The second storey windows have shallow stilted arched heads. The interior has not been inspected.
