Number 79 And Attached Arcade

Number 79 and the attached arcade are likely former Post Office buildings, now functioning as shop premises. They were completed by 1868 and designed by Lockwood and Mawson for Titus Salt. The structure is built from ashlar with a Welsh slate roof and is in the Italianate style. It stands two storeys tall on a corner site, featuring one bay on Victoria Road and two bays on Caroline Street, with a single corner bay that is divided by rusticated quoins.

The corner bay has a doorway flanked by slender lights and separated by pilasters. Large shop windows are present on both elevations. The first floor and the left side of the ground floor have archivolted round-arched windows. There is a deep entablature between the floors, along with a deep, bracketed moulded eaves cornice and a parapet. The roof is hipped, and there are two tall stacks with cornices.

Attached to the left is a two-bay arcade that connects the building to No 41 Caroline Street and provides access to a rear road. This building is part of the Saltaire model village.
