Description
No. 16 Cook Street is an office building constructed in 1866 by P. Ellis. It features a cast iron frame with stone cladding and brick on the sides. The building is five storeys tall and three bays wide, with full-height mullions that have round heads, a swept cornice, and a Jacobean finial. At the rear, there is a courtyard with oriels on the rear wing that are cantilevered from the frame, having canted tops and bottoms. Inside, there is an iron-framed spiral staircase located in the angle, supported by barley sugar columns and enclosed with iron and glass cladding, topped with a conical glazed cap. This building is significant for its early use of expressed iron framing.
