No.26 (and No.2 Park Street Exchange Buildings)

No. 26, also known as No. 2 Park Street Exchange Buildings, is a building in the English Baroque style, constructed with three stories and an attic, featuring a domed corner. The ground floor is faced with brown glazed brick piers, while the upper floors are in red brick with extensive dressings in matt grey faience that mimic stone. The building has a slate roof and brick ridge stacks, with plain rear elevations made of rubble stone.

The Market Street elevation consists of eight bays, arranged in a 1-6-1 pattern, while the Park Street elevation has seven bays arranged in a 2-4-1 pattern, highlighted by an ornate corner bay at the northwest angle topped with a dome.

On the ground floor, there are channelled glazed piers between shopfronts, with two narrower bays on Market Street that provide access to upper offices. The grey faience caps feature pendant labels between fascia panels, with a moulded cornice above. The upper floors have slightly projected flanking bays with channelled faience angle piers, moulded caps with pendant labels, and a fine overall moulded cornice with a pulvinated frieze that breaks forward over the angle bays. The windows are small-paned sashes in the Queen Anne style, linked vertically. The central bays have shouldered architraves and cornices, while the outer bays feature pediments on brackets at the first floor and cornices on brackets at the second floor. The angle bay is fully clad in faience on the upper floors, showcasing a canted two-storey bay, with a main cornice wrapping around, broad front sashes with a pediment at the first floor, a flat cornice at the second floor, and narrow lights on the canted sides topped with plain cornices.

The attic floor includes large lunettes over the flanking bays, with faience arches, a cornice, coping, and side piers. The red brick walling is interspersed with a row of eaves that break for brick dormers, which are segmental-headed with faience keystones and coping. The angle dome is composed of two stages: a lower canted section with one window and two faience piers, followed by an octagonal drum adorned with scrolled faience angle buttresses, small square windows, and a leaded bell-cast dome topped with a wooden spike finial.
