Description

37 and 39 Jamaica Street is a building in Bristol that originally served as carriage works and is now used as offices. It was constructed in 1905, with the upper floors added in 1909. The building features a cast- and wrought-iron frame, with a rectangular plan. The lower two floors have cast-iron columns with flared capitals and glazed infill, while the upper floors have columns encased in brick, separated by timber cornices, and half-glazed sections above rendered panels. The doors include margin and overlights in the left and two right panels.

Inside, the ground and first floors have cast-iron columns supporting paired timber beams, which are braced by wrought-iron flitches and ties. There are plain dogleg stairs at either end. The building is noted for its historical significance, representing a link between the structural innovations of the 1840s and the dominance of steel or concrete frames a century later.
