Carlton Chambers

Carlton Chambers is an office building located on St Stephen's Street in Bristol, constructed in 1884 by TS Lysaght. The building is made of limestone with a yellow brick attic and features a double-depth plan. It stands three storeys high, with a double attic and a basement. The symmetrical façade includes entrance sections that are set forward, featuring a moulded band above the basement, a second-floor plat, and a cornice with sunken panels.

The façade is adorned with banded pilasters that have imposts leading to semicircular-arched doorways, which are topped with scrolled keys and double doors. The first-floor pilasters support semicircular arches with flat-headed windows, while the second-floor features paired semicircular-arched windows with scrolled keys and foliate pilasters. The ground floor has pilasters with vermiculated jambs supporting flat-headed windows with panelled aprons. The first-floor pilasters lead to stilted segmental-arched windows with attached balustrades, and the second-floor has paired pilasters for windows with scrolled keys and foliate aprons. There are also keyed segmental-arched blocked windows in the basement.

The interior has been extensively remodelled in the mid-20th century, with a right-hand open-well stair that includes a first-floor landing and an oval stair above, featuring decorated cast-iron balusters.
