St Margarets Chambers

St Margarets Chambers is a building located on Newton Street in Manchester, constructed around 1890 and altered since then. It features shops on the ground floor with numerous offices above, which in 1905 were mostly occupied by manufacturers' agents. The building is made of pink brick laid in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and some terracotta that likely serves as cladding for an iron frame. It has a four-span slate roof and a shallow trapezoidal plan that runs parallel to the street, designed in an Elizabethan style.

The structure stands four storeys tall with an attic, comprising eight bays along with a narrow chamfered corner on the right. The bays are separated by semi-octagonal shafts and are grouped in pairs beneath four large, elaborately shaped gables. Architectural details include a cornice above the ground floor, a deep decorated frieze and cornice over the first floor, and another cornice above the third floor.

The ground floor features a wide doorway in the fifth bay, which is set under a keyed elliptical arch adorned with decorated spandrels, although it has been altered with 20th-century shop fronts. The first floor has recessed canted three-light windows with modified glazing. The second and third floors contain three-light mullioned windows, except for the seventh and eighth bays, which have two-light windows. The attic features smaller mullioned windows with one and two lights in each bay, with divisions created by the outer shafts of the shaped gables, which are also pierced. The left end of the building presents one bay to Piccadilly, while the right end is canted, both styled consistently with the rest of the building. The interior has not been inspected.
