Description
This is an attached office building dating from approximately 1908, designed by either H Dare Bryan or RH Drake. Constructed from limestone ashlar with a roof that is not visible, it is built on a double-depth plan. The architectural style is Edwardian Baroque.
The building is two storeys high with an attic, and has a four-window frontage. The symmetrical facade features broad pilasters extending to a first-floor entablature, topped with an open pediment and parapet. The ground floor has plain plate-glass windows typical of the 20th century, with raised aprons and lintels. A central doorway has raised jambs and splayed reveals, and contains double-glazed doors, also from the 20th century. The first floor is divided into three sections via Ionic pilasters, with paired 15-pane windows in the centre and 10-pane windows to the sides, each beneath a moulded lintel. Above the windows is decorative panelling with a festoon design. A moulded string connects the pilaster capitals, and the attic features a two-light lunette with raised voussoirs and a large split key at the pediment’s top.
The interior was rebuilt behind the facade in 1974 and is now incorporated into a larger building that includes No. 29.
