Description
No. 44 Parliament Street is a former newspaper office, now a shop, built between 1836 and 1839. It was designed by JB and W Atkinson for The Yorkshireman and was remodeled in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of painted brick in Flemish bond, featuring a timber eaves cornice and a slate roof with a brick stack.
The exterior is four stories high with a two-window front. The first-floor windows are round-headed sashes set in an arcade, with radial-glazed upper sashes, painted brick sills, and a moulded impost band arched over the window heads. On the second floor, there are 12-pane sash windows with a sill band, while the third floor has unequal 9-pane sashes with painted stone sills, all topped with flat arches. A broad frieze band runs beneath a moulded cornice supported by heavy brackets. The interior has not been inspected.
