Description

A shop and offices, likely built around 1894 and altered in the late 20th century, designed by EJ Dodgshun. The building occupies a corner site with Park Row; only the Park Row facade survives. Constructed of red brick with terracotta bands and decoration, it features cast-iron railing and a rebuilt slate roof. It stands four storeys high with an attic, and has four bays. The architectural style is elaborate and informal Flemish.

The ground floor has steps leading to a central panelled door set within a terracotta surround, featuring attached columns, a double arched fanlight, and a pediment. Corner pilasters flank the doorway. The ground floor also possesses plate-glass display windows. Upper floors have paired and single sash windows. A corner oriel turret extends through the second and third floors on the left side, boasting a moulded soffit, plaques, an octagonal ogee dome, and a tall ball finial. A three-storey segmental oriel bow is situated on the right side, featuring a decorated soffit, a railing above the cornice, and a deeply set window within a round arch with terracotta voussoirs. A Flemish gable sits above this window.

Above the eaves cornice, three moulded plaques are centrally located on the left side, accompanied by a Flemish gable and a short railing to the right.

The interior has not been inspected. The distinction between the moulded plaques and the railing indicates the property division, separating 23 Park Row on the right and the former return of 119-121 The Headrow on the left. Initially named Peacock's Buildings, it housed Peacock and Son, warehousemen. The Bradford Old Bank occupied part of the building in 1905, likely on the left side as indicated on the 1910 Ordnance Survey map. In 1905, a further eleven businesses used the building.
