The Lloyds Building

The Lloyds Building is a warehouse constructed around 1890. It features coursed rubble and ashlar with ashlar dressings, and has slate and glass north-light roofs. The building is five stories tall, plus a basement. The street front has a symmetrical facade with seven windows. A large central doorway has double panel doors and an overlight set under a segmental arch. On either side of the doorway are three basement windows with rusticated piers between them, and above are three cross casement windows with plain pilasters between, topped with a plain entablature and cornice. Each of the four upper floors has seven pairs of sash windows arranged in a pattern of three, one, and three, with continuous cill bands. A moulded ashlar cornice runs along the top.

The rear elevation has seven windows arranged in the pattern of one, one, three, one, and one. The central and outer bays feature segment-headed cross casements, while bays two and six have flat heads and originally included taking-in doors, which have now been replaced with cross casements except on the ground floor. The roof is topped with one small and three large coped gables. Inside, there are two rows of cast iron columns that support timber floor beams. A central staircase at the rear has concrete cantilevered steps, with an ornate iron baluster and wooden handrail.
