Shops and houses. Early C19 with c1925 refacing; later C20
shop windows to ground floor. Rendered brick, slate roof.
Corner site, 3 storeys with attics and cellars, 4 two-window
bays to Briggate, 4 windows to The Headrow, curved corner.
Tall narrow windows have plate-glass sashes to 1st floor and
9-pane sashes with C20 replacements to 2nd; lunette window
with 6-pane fixed-light frame to The Headrow gable. Render
incised in imitation of banded ashlar and bay divisions marked
by pilasters with plaques and swags. 4 rendered 4-flue stacks
forward of ridge.
INTERIOR: the chimneys are built against the cross-walls
dividing the building into 4 units facing Briggate; a spine
wall to rear of the ridge line rises through the 1st and 2nd
floors but the ground floor is gutted. Early C19 features
include: stone-lined cellars, cast-iron columns supporting
ground floor; staircases with fine column-on-vase balustrades
and ramped handrails surviving at 3rd and attic storeys; an
attic fireplace with carved stone moulded surround and flower
motif and cast-iron basket grate; 6-panel doors with fielded
and moulded panels. Later alterations include a wide staircase
which served the 2 central units, c1925.
The building is shown in the early C19 engraving of the Corn
Exchange, (Fraser p.187), the date and proportions are similar
to the Leeds Library, No.18 Commercial Street (qv).
