Treasure House

Treasure House is an office block with ground floor shops, built around 1905 by architects David Niven and Herbert Wigglesworth for the jewellers Stewart Dawson & Co. The building is constructed of Portland stone and features a tiled mansard roof. It stands four storeys tall and has five windows, showcasing a symmetrical design in the neo-Renaissance style.

The ground floor includes three shops, two of which retain their original fronts, separated by pilasters adorned with carved figurative panels. The entrances in the outer bays are round-arched, featuring channelled voussoirs, fanlights, and enriched cast-iron gates, with part-glazed inner doors designed in the Art Nouveau style, complete with mask pediments.

Giant Ionic pilasters extend through the first and second floors, supporting a heavy modillion cornice that is topped by a cast-iron balustrade with stone dies and cast-iron standards. The windows have architraved sashes, with lugged cornices on the first floor that form sills for the second floor. The central bays are tripartite, while the outer bays are single, each with cast-iron balconies on the first floor. The second floor features keystones with flanking enrichment, and the third floor also has keystones.

Inside, the entrance halls are timber panelled with inset glass, and there is a marble stair.
