Dominions House

Dominions House is an office building located on St Augustine's Parade in Bristol, constructed between 1898 and 1905 by architect Arthur Blomfield-Jackson. The building is designed in the Edwardian Baroque style with Art Nouveau details and is made of limestone ashlar. It features a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall with a five-window range.

The façade is very elaborate and stylistically eclectic, featuring wide doorways in the lower outer one-window sections and a carriage arch to a side passage on the left. This arch has blocked eared architraves, a console cornice, and a wide swan's neck pediment with a central cartouche, along with paterae to the soffit and two-leaf wrought-iron gates. The ground floor has 20th-century plate-glass shop windows separated by pilasters that lead to raised cornices.

On the first floor, the windows have moulded cills, jambs with impost bands and spiral tops, and lintels with sinuous mouldings on either side of the keys. The outer windows are adorned with bracketed cornices and swept pediments featuring carved tympani. The middle three second-floor windows are canted bay windows that are set back and flanked by pilasters rising to an overhanging bracketed cornice. These bays have attached columns with egg-and-dart capitals and gabled cornices decorated with leaves and shields, and a panel through the pediments with carved leaves. The outer windows have consoles supporting overhanging lintels and cornices. The sashes include 9-pane/plate glass sashes, with the outer windows having 5 panes.

The interior has been largely remodelled around 1985, featuring a rear dogleg winder stair with cast-iron splat balusters, fireplaces, panelled reveals, and five-panel doors. The building was originally designed to include a third-floor loggia with cupolas and a steep roof.
