Description
St Peter's House is a possible former office building that now serves as a church centre, built around 1855. It is constructed of brick with plaster and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof and brick stacks. The building features a double-depth plan and is designed in the Italianate style. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a three-window range with a canted corner.
The façade includes a platt band over the ground floor, a deep plaster frieze marking the attic storey, and a dentilled cornice with a parapet. The corners are accentuated with quoins. The round-headed windows on the ground floor have imposts, archivolts, and keystones above 4-pane horned sashes. The first floor features windows in plaster surrounds with friezes and bracketed cornices over horned sashes that include margin lights. The attic has 8-pane pivoted windows, with the central window being deeper and having 6 panes, flanked by consoles and an apron.
The round-headed entrance is framed by a rusticated hollow-chamfered surround with a keystone, rusticated pilasters, and an entablature. It has a fanlight with margin lights above a 4-panel door. The corner entrance mirrors this design, featuring rusticated hollow-chamfered pilasters with ornate capitals, an entablature, and a segmental pediment, along with an architraved 4-panel door. There is a similar three-window return facing Cheapside, and a two-window right return that also has inserted 20th-century entrances.
Inside, the building has a central stairwell with a skylight and iron balusters. Exchange Street, where the building is located, was created in 1851.
