Holyoake House

Holyoake House is an office building located on Hanover Street in Manchester, constructed in 1911 by F.E.L. Harris. The building has been altered and raised since its original construction. It features a matt glazed faience exterior, with light blue on the basement and ground floor and cream above, and the roof is concealed. The structure has a rectangular plan on a corner site, with a chamfered corner facing Redfern Street, and is designed in a Neo-Baroque style.

The building consists of three storeys and a basement, plus an added attic. It has four bays along Hanover Street and six bays along Redfern Street. The facade on Hanover Street exhibits channelled rustication, while the ground floor and basement of the first bay and the Redfern Street facade are adorned with giant fluted Ionic pilasters on the upper floors. A cornice runs along the ground floor, with a frieze and a prominent modillioned cornice above the top floor.

A wide semicircular entrance arch is located in the third bay, featuring a projected scrolled keyblock and run-out voussoirs. Above this entrance, there are triple windows on each floor, with the first-floor windows showcasing triple keystones and the second-floor windows having a pedimented centre. The first-floor flanking windows have Gibbs surrounds, while the second-floor windows are framed with moulded architraves.

The first bay, corner, and six-bay facade on Redfern Street include round-headed windows on the ground floor with cavetto surrounds and triple keyblocks, as well as open pedimented architraves on the first floor and moulded architraves and aprons on the second floor. The ground floor of the corner features a large lettered plaque that begins with "Erected 1911 / The Co-operative Union Limited ...". Additionally, there are cast iron area balustrades.
