76-88, VICAR LANE (See details for further address information)

Nos. 76-88 Vicar Lane is a former building known as County Houses, located in Leeds. This structure, which includes Nos. 11 and 13 Harewood Street and Nos. 2-8 Eastgate, was built in the early 20th century and underwent alterations in the late 20th century.

The building is constructed of brick and banded terracotta, topped with a grey slate roof that features three tall moulded brick stacks positioned forward of the ridge, to the left of center and at the far left on the left return. It stands three storeys high with attics and consists of six bays, including a canted bay at the corner of Eastgate and two bays on the left return.

The ground floor has late 20th-century shop fronts, while the first floor showcases large segmental-arched windows and three round-headed windows at the corner, all adorned with grey terracotta voussoirs. The second floor features a combination of one-, two-, and three-window groupings, with sashes arranged in a pattern of 2:3:3:1:3:3:3, and includes terracotta above the transom level, moulded lintels, a cornice, and a parapet. The attic storey has paired windows set in pedimented gables with moulded plaques in the tympanum, a ramped parapet in between, and two dormer windows. The corner turret has sashes similar to those on the second floor, and there are eaves brackets and a domed lead roof.

On the left return facing Eastgate, there are two full-height bays with a gable and dormer window, alongside a lower three-storey block to the left made of banded brick and terracotta, featuring narrow upper-floor windows. The rear, facing Harewood Street, has a three-window facade similar to the front on the left side, and to the right, there is a symmetrical gabled facade with terracotta plaques, including a female mask in Art Nouveau style, kneelers, and gable coping.

The interior has not been inspected. According to a directory from 1910, the building housed various businesses, including H. Gilchrist, a house furnisher; Gardam Bros., clothiers at Nos. 78 and 80; the County Hotel at No. 82; and Thornton and Hodgson, tailors at No. 88.
