15 And 17, George Street

15 and 17 George Street is an architect's office, now a solicitor's office, built in 1895 by Watson Fothergill for himself. The building features elaborate polychrome work, constructed of red brick with ashlar and blue brick dressings, topped with a plain tile roof that has a tile crest. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style, showcasing a blue brick plinth and a first-floor band. The structure has two storeys plus attics and a five-window range.

Most of the windows are wooden framed cross casements and plain sashes with leaded glazing. The asymmetrical front includes, on the left, a board door in a shouldered opening with shafts. To the right, there are two segmental arches with a grey granite column, which contains a late 20th-century panelled door and window, followed by a basket-arched passage entrance. On the left, a two-light window features plate tracery. Above this, to the left, is a machicolated turret with three trefoil-headed windows under gables, topped by an octagonal spire roof and two steep-pitched hipped lucarnes with crests and a finial.

To the right, four trefoil-headed windows with clustered shafts are present, with the figure of a medieval architect between the left pair and busts of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and Street between the others. The names of Scott, Burges, and Shaw are inscribed on the building. Below the windows, there are four reliefs depicting building construction. Above, in the centre, is a cross casement window. To the right, a timber-framed gable on brackets, with brick nogging and an arched bargeboard, frames two cross casements. This building exemplifies Fothergill's eclectic style, with its figures and inscriptions paying tribute to his architectural mentors. The ground floor was refitted in the late 20th century.
