Description
Brodrick's Buildings, located on Cookridge Street in Leeds, is a pair of shops and chambers built in 1864, with late 19th-century alterations and restoration completed in 1988. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, the building features red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall with attics and has two bays topped with steeply pitched gables. The façade includes two tall shop windows with recessed entrances on either side, the right entrance leading to the upper floors. The first-floor windows consist of four lights with flat heads, supported by carved capitals on pilasters, and feature a Gothic cast-iron balcony. The second-floor windows are composed of two paired sashes, with pointed blind arches above and a quatrefoil panel at the center. Each gable has a triangular window with square and circular panels. The interior has not been inspected. This building is notable as one of the few smaller designs by the architect known for the Town Hall and the Corn Exchange.
