Description
The Former Victoria Coffee House, located at numbers 38 and 40 on Granby Street in Leicester, is a building from 1888 designed by Edward Burgess. It is constructed of ashlar and features slate and copper roofs. The building stands five storeys tall with an attic and has a five-window front. The ground floor includes a large 20th-century shopfront with a segmental broken pedimented doorway to the right. The first and second floors have three recessed windows with cross mullion windows, separated by Doric columns, while single end windows project with moulded surrounds. The third, fourth, and attic floors are set back, showcasing a large central splayed section topped with a tall tiled conical roof, which has a wooden lantern over the centre in a segmental pedimented dormer. Flanking this are octagonal and round turrets, each capped with bell-canted copper and lead roofs.
