Description
Three Spires House is a shop and offices dating to around 1800, located in Lichfield. The building is constructed of brick, with painted elevations and ashlar dressings, and has a hipped tile roof. It is arranged in an L-shape. The architectural style is Georgian.
The building is three storeys high and has a two-window front. A plat band runs above the first floor, and there is a top cornice. The shop front, inserted in the early 20th century, features fielded-panelled pilaster strips, a bracketed cornice, and an elliptical arch with a fretted head on Composite colonnettes, concealing a recessed entrance. The upper windows have rubbed brick flat arches; the first-floor windows contain 12-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows have 6-pane sashes set over sills.
The return elevation includes several blocked entrances and windows, some of which have 20th-century casements. A later gabled wing extends to the rear and incorporates an end stack. An entrance to part of the building, No. 16A, is also on the return elevation, marked as Three Spires House.
