Description
44 Broad Street, built as the Birmingham Brasshouse in 1781 and altered around 1870, is a two-storey brick building with stucco dressings and a slate roof. It features seven bays, with the central five slightly advanced and adorned with a parapet that has volutes on either side and intermittent balustrading. The ground floor has a central door set within a stone surround, featuring an arched recess of Romanesque type and flanked by granite columns. On either side of the door are central tripartite windows supported by slender piers and columns, which carry an entablature above, along with two additional windows that have voussoir blocks. The first floor mirrors this design, except the central window is of Serlian type and the left-hand window has been heightened. All windows have glazing bars and rest on a continuous sill band.
