GV II

Workshops or warehouse. 1878. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stone, dressings of red and blue brick. Four (possibly five) storeys, five-window range. As the large, flat-arched windows to the first, second and third floors are separated horizontally only by narrow bands of stone, the elevation to Cowcross Street reads as a grid of windows arranged in five tall bays with pointed arches; and there are decorative metal bosses to all floors and all bays, perhaps related to metal framing in the building. The ground floor has pilasters of blue and red brick; works entrance to either end, flat-arched to the left and segmental-arched to the right, with gauged brick heads; the elaborate decorative tiled frieze to the middle bays remains only in one bay. The upper floors are divided vertically by piers of yellow brick with pilasters of red brick superimposed and running up to foliage capitals at third floor level; moulded stone lintels to each floor; pointed arch to 'fourth' floor with voussoirs of alternating red and yellow brick and hoodmould; terracotta roundels in spandrels; parapet.
