Description
No. 30 Market Street is a building in Lancaster that dates back to around 1880. Originally built as the Borough Council's Gas and Rates Office, it is designed in the Italianate style. The structure is made of sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof along with tall gable chimney stacks that have bracketed cornices.
The building has a deep rectangular plan with two tall storeys above a cellar and consists of four narrow bays. The entrance is located on the left side, leading to Chancery Lane. The ground floor has been modified to include a shop front. On the first floor, the windows have round heads and are set beneath moulded round arches supported by Corinthianesque pilasters. These pilasters rest on a moulded band, and above them is a dentilled cornice that carries a round-headed aedicule. This aedicule features short pink granite columns with Corinthianesque capitals and contains the coat of arms of the former Borough of Lancaster. The building is noted for its group value within the area.
