Dackawell House

Dackawell House is a shop and office building located at 22 and 24 New Market Street in Leeds, constructed around 1900, possibly by architects SE Smith and J Tweedale. The building features a steel frame with plain and moulded brick, and its roof is not visible. It stands four storeys high and has two bays. The ground floor has a 20th-century shop facade, while both bays feature a full-height semicircular arched recess with three tiers of canted bay windows. The top-floor windows are topped with a triangular pediment and a giant fanlight that fills the arch. At the top center, there is a circular stone plaque with raised letters that read "DACKAWELL HOUSE." The building is further adorned with brick corbels and a stone band beneath a very shallow triangular pediment. The interior has not been inspected. Although attributed to Smith and Tweedale, the multi-storey bay windows within a tall round arch are characteristic of Percy Robinson's design seen in the corner building at Nos 2 & 4 Duncan Street, built in 1904. A similar single bay design can be found at No.26 Lands Lane.
