Description
No. 4 Cross Street is a two-storey house built in 1905 by Gilbert Fraser for the Concrete Machinery Company in Liverpool. It is an architecturally significant building made of concrete blocks, constructed for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition, where it received a special prize. The house has a double front with three bays and features a hipped, tiled roof with bracketed eaves and rendered ridge stacks. The walls are made of concrete blocks designed to resemble ashlar, with rusticated block quoins. It includes precast door and window surrounds, recessed casement windows with glazing bars, and a recessed doorway with sidelights and a half-glazed door. The building is included in the register for its technological interest.
