Harvester House

Harvester House is a building located on Peter Street in Manchester, likely originally a merchant's warehouse, now serving as an office. It was constructed in 1868 by Clegg and Knowles and has undergone alterations. The building is made of sandstone ashlar, with its roof concealed but likely covered in slate. It has a square plan and occupies a corner site, designed in the Italian palazzo style.

The structure features five storeys and a basement, with eight bays. Notable architectural elements include a vermiculated plinth, channelled rustication on the ground floor, and a cornice above it. The building has rusticated quoins, moulded sill-bands on all floors, a plain frieze, a modillioned cornice, and a balustraded parapet.

On the ground floor, there is a round-headed doorway to the right, which has been altered to function as a window. This doorway is enriched with shafts and a cornice on elaborate consoles. To the left, there is an inserted 20th-century garage entrance, and between these two features are two pairs of round-headed windows with stepped voussoirs, flanking a square-headed doorway that may have been inserted, featuring a moulded architrave and cornice.

The upper floors have a very regular fenestration pattern, with all windows having moulded architraves. The first-floor windows are topped with segmental pediments on consoles, while the second-floor windows have shouldered architraves with alternately triangular and segmental pediments. The windows on the top two floors feature cornices, and all windows are sashed without glazing bars. The eight-bay return to Southmill Street has a continuous arcade of round-headed windows on the ground floor, linked by impost bands, and is designed in a matching style. The interior has not been inspected.
