25, Hylton Street

25 Hylton Street is an early 20th-century manufactory featuring minor alterations. The building is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings and has a slate roof that is concealed by a shallow parapet. It has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a frontage range and a rear workshop range that encloses a narrow yard.

The exterior is three stories high with a two-bay front. The main doorway is located on the right side of the front, featuring a massive painted lintel with an ogee-moulded soffit and boldly moulded brackets. To the left of the doorway is a wide two-light transomed window, with each light having a shallow-arched head and two-pane transom lights. A moulded string connects the lintels of the door and windows. Above this, there is a wide canted oriel window within a quoined surround on the left-hand bay, and a two-pane sash window on the right. The upper floor has a wide, plain cill band with a wide tripartite sash window to the left and a two-over-two pane sash window to the right, situated below the eaves cornice and shallow parapet.

This building is part of a continuous street frontage that is entirely made up of works premises, all small-scale and detailed in a domestic style, reflecting the earlier 19th-century trend of converting and extending houses into workspaces and offices. However, these buildings are consciously designed and purpose-built. Along with the parallel range of buildings on the west side of Vyse Street, they form a solid block of back-to-back manufactories, all featuring workshop ranges behind the frontage buildings. The area has fully utilized its eccentric plot shapes, now representing the densest survival of such structures in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, which is recognized as a manufacturing district of international significance.
