Description


LEEDS

SE3033SW BOAR LANE 714-1/78/50 (North side) 29/09/95 No.60

GV II

Shop and offices. c1872, altered C20. Possibly by Thomas Ambler. Ashlar, slate roof. 4 storeys, 5 first-floor windows. Italianate style. Ground floor: late C20 boarded shop window within exposed C19 twin cast-iron columns of plain design with spiral reeding to lower third. 1st and 2nd floors: sashes in attached round arches with columns and keystones; pilaster with carved plaques at each end; square windows to 3rd floor, entablature with paterae, dentilled eaves cornice, shallow blocking course. INTERIOR: not inspected. The facade is identical to the original details of No.58 (qv). Part of the important surviving block on the north side of Boar Lane which is contemporary with the fine examples of later C19 shop, bank and office premises on the south side of Boar Lane, several by Ambler in a similar style. Like No.58 this property is not listed in the 1872 directory, suggesting a slightly later completion. By 1875 Jones and Calaum, drapers and silk merchants, were using the building, the business continuing until after 1888. (Directories of Leeds for 1872-1888).
