Office Of Haskins Limited

The Office of Haskins Limited is an early 20th-century building designed by E. Lutyens. It was originally the office for a brickworks and is associated with nearby houses owned by the same proprietor. The building features a tall ground floor and an attic window at each end gable. The symmetrical front, facing south, includes a large half-octagon bay window on either side of a central entrance. The steep red tile roof is notable for its massive central Tudor stack, which has two separate spiral flues on moulded octagonal bases set on a rectangular base.

The parapet design consists of square rusticated columns connected by open work, resting on a cornice with cut brick mouldings. The walls are constructed of thin red bricks in Flemish bond, with brick transoms and a moulded cill band. The doorway features a plain arch within a rectangular frame, topped by three brick mullioned lights, and is accessed through double doors, each consisting of four panels. The gable ends display long and short quoins, and the roof slopes to a low eaves at the rear. There are small upper coupled lights in the gables and a larger mullioned window at the east end.
