60, Caroline Street

60 Caroline Street is a late 19th-century office building that was formerly a manufactory, with some minor alterations from the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick, featuring painted ashlar dressings and blue brick detailing, and has a slate roof with a single gable stack shared with the adjacent property.

The building has an elongated L-plan, consisting of a street-facing range and an attached workshop range that extends westward to the end of the plot. The street frontage is two storeys high with an attic, rising from a shallow blue brick plinth. It has three bays, with a doorway on the right that has a moulded surround and a pointed segmental arch-headed lintel, which includes a shallow arched overlight. The ground floor features two 2 over 2 pane sash windows with painted sills, positioned beneath a late 20th-century canopy. On the first floor, there are three narrow windows with sills set on a blue brick band; these are also 2 over 2 pane sash windows with Y-traceried upper sashes and semi-circular heads. A dog-tooth blue brick impost band supports drop-arched lintels, and there is a dentilled and dog-toothed eaves cornice along with three tall gabled dormers that contain 2 over 2 pane sash windows.

The rear elevation includes a three-storey, six-bay workshop range that extends from the north side of the front range. This section features multi-pane metal windows beneath segmental-arched heads, lined with blue brick, while the upper floor is faced in glazed white brick.

60 Caroline Street is part of a group with Nos. 58-59 and No. 61 Caroline Street. It remains a little-altered, purpose-built manufactory with attached workshops, showcasing architectural and planning features typical of late 19th-century manufacturing premises in a specialist industrial area of Birmingham, which is now recognized for its international significance.
