Description
Montague House is an office building located on Cemetery Road in Sheffield, dating from around 1836, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. It is likely designed by Samuel Worth and is constructed from ashlar with a slate roof, featuring four coped side wall stacks. The building is in a classical style, characterized by a plinth, string course, and eaves cornice.
The main block is two stories tall, with single-storey flat-roofed wings. The entrance front features a central wooden cross casement flanked by pilasters. There is a full-width rusticated single-storey wing with corner pilasters. The central doorway is framed by a pair of fluted Doric columns in antis, leading to a four-panel door with an overlight. On each side of the entrance, there are two-light casements with Egyptian surrounds and cornices. The rear elevation has similar window arrangements.
The street-facing front has a pediment with paired giant Doric corner pilasters and two wooden cross casements on each floor. Rusticated wings on either side contain single two-light casements, also with Egyptian surrounds and cornices. Inside, the building features moulded cornices in the hallway and stairwell, as well as a cantilevered dogleg stone staircase with iron stick balusters.
