Description
Rutland Chambers is a building located on St Peter's Gate in Nottingham, constructed in 1888 by Lawrence Bright for H & M Lewis. It serves as shops and offices and has undergone alterations in the late 20th century. The structure is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and features gabled and hipped slate roofs, along with two gable and a single ridge stack.
The building has a cornice and a sham blocking course at the second floor, with moulded brick eaves. The windows are primarily plain sashes with shaped lintels, while those on the second floor have round-arched heads and keystones. The building stands three storeys tall plus attics, with a window arrangement of three by four.
It is situated on a corner site, characterized by a rounded corner bay that has three windows. The ground floor of the corner bay features a late 20th-century shopfront with polished stone facing, alongside a single-storey addition with two plate glass windows. Above this, there is a canted bay window that spans two storeys, consisting of four lights with stone mullions. Each side of the corner bay has a single sash window, and between the floors, there are recessed panels with shaped lintels. The attics contain three plain sashes.
The right return of the building has pairs of plain sashes on each floor. To the right, there is a block with three bays, featuring an ashlar entrance bay on the left. This entrance includes a round-arched doorway with a polychrome head and shafts, glazed double doors, and a fanlight. To the right of the entrance, there are two late 20th-century shop windows. Above these, there are two sashes on each floor, flanked by canted bay windows with four lights. The left canted bay window extends three storeys with an attic window above, while the right canted bay window is two storeys tall. The attics above the two right bays have continuous glazing. The building is included for its group value.
