Harington House

Harington House is a warehouse and office building constructed in 1906 by F.W. Gardiner. It features limestone ashlar and has a neat corner design with a return and a second entrance on Queen Street. The building stands three storeys tall with a basement and has four bays. Each bay contains glazing bar sash windows: the second floor has tripartite two:six:two-pane windows above four:twelve:four-pane windows on the first floor, and two large twelve-pane windows on the ground floor. There is a former doorway to the left with a lower panel and glazing above, and in the third bay, there is a good three-panel door on three steps. The front is fully articulated with bold square quoin pilasters at each end, which continue to short repeat pilasters at the attic. The bays are framed with flat Doric pilasters, and the ground floor features a full entablature that stops at the quoins. The first and attic floors have a frieze and cornice with broken round pilasters. The Queen Street front is similar but has two bays, with an additional bay beyond the left pilaster, featuring a six-pane window above a twelve-pane sash and a doorway with a transom light on three steps, set close to the adjacent No. 11 Queen Street. A horizontal trim runs across the bay, and a parish marker "W.T/P" is incised in the stonework above the doorway. The return to the right is painted ashlar with two parapet stacks, while the rear includes an offset stair turret on the right and two large twelve-pane sashes, along with two later lights on the left. The interior has not been inspected. These Neo-Grecian workrooms were designed by F.W. Gardiner in a careful Georgian style, according to building control records.
