14 And 16, Blackfriars Street

14 and 16 Blackfriars Street is a former office and warehouse building, dated 1866. It features an ashlar-faced ground floor, with brick and stone dressings above. The building has four storeys and a ten-window range. The central entrance is a round arch with marble shafts and a moulded architrave, flanked by two-pane sash windows separated by square pilasters that have vermiculated bases and stylised foliate capitals. There are cast-iron grilles below the windows. A cornice runs over the first floor, which also displays the date above the door. To the rear left, there is a flat-arched entrance. The first-floor windows are in the Venetian Gothic style, featuring marble shafts and foliated capitals, and are connected by a continuous enriched string course. The second floor has similar windows but with stilted arched heads and plain stone shafts. The third floor is detailed like the second storey. The building has a modillion eaves cornice and paired brick stacks, with a stiff leaf frieze below the projecting caps on the front and side walls. The interior has not been inspected.
