Arlington House

Arlington House is a former office building located on Bloom Street in Salford, built in 1880, likely designed by Thomas Worthington. The structure is made of red brick with stone dressings and features a steep Welsh slate roof with brick stacks at the gables and an additional stack on the right side of the central tower. It has a U-shaped plan in the High Gothic style, with a central entrance beneath the tower.

The building is two storeys tall with an attic and is symmetrically arranged with a four-window range on each side of the central tower. The outer bays are slightly advanced and topped with pyramidal roofs. The ground floor features a central doorway with a semicircular head, flanked by squat engaged granite pilasters with foliate capitals. Each flanking range has four semicircular stone-headed sash windows, connected by an enriched stone string course and set on stone sills. A stone plinth runs along the base.

On the first floor, the windows have shallow segmental-arched stone heads, stone sills, and hoodmoulds that create a continuous band. The tower includes a projecting oriel with paired pointed blind windows separated by a granite shaft, stone corbelling with gargoyles, and a parapet. The eaves cornice is corbelled brick, and there are three enriched stone gabled dormers with poppy head finials on either side of the tower. The upper section of the tower features a Gothic two-light window, arrow loops, and a stone machicolated parapet with bartizans. The roof is a steep truncated pyramidal slate design with iron brattishing and a flag pole. The interior has not been inspected.
