Description

The extension of the Taylor Institute, located on St Giles' Street, was built in 1932 and 1938 by architect T H Hughes. It is constructed from Bath (Monks Park), Portland, and Clipham stone. The building features a rusticated ground floor and an arcaded five-bay piano-nobile, topped with a heavy eaves cornice.
