Former Manchester Ear Hospital

The former Manchester Ear Hospital is a town house that has been converted into an office. It dates from the early 19th century and was largely rebuilt in 1987, retaining only its facade. The building is constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings and has a slate roof. It features a double-depth, double-fronted plan with three storeys over a cellar and three symmetrical bays. The facade includes a stone plinth, a sill-band at the first floor, and a renewed eaves cornice. The central doorway, which is accessed by four steps, has panelled double doors and a three-pane overlight. The doorcase is framed by engaged Ionic columns with a corniced entablature that connects to the apron of the window above, which is adorned with a pedimented architrave. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sashed windows, while the second floor has 9-pane sashes, all with flat-arched heads except for the window above the door. The building also features gable chimneys. The interior has not been inspected.
