Description
The Hargreaves Building is an office building constructed in 1861 by Picton. It features ashlar stonework with a granite basement and a slate roof. The structure has three storeys and a basement, with five bays on Chapel Street and seven bays facing Covent Garden. The ground floor showcases round-headed windows adorned with decorative mouldings on granite columns, along with swept balustraded balconies and iron glazing bars. There are portrait busts located in the spandrels. The first floor includes a sill band and round-headed windows that have two round-headed lights and a roundel, supported by Ionic colonnettes. The second floor also has a sill band and a continuous window with nine round-headed lights set between panelled pilasters, topped with a bracketed frieze and cornice. The facade facing Covent Garden is similar in design.
