Appraisal
An unusual building of polychromatic appearance, produced by the combination of red and yellow brick to the primary (north) elevation. Restored in the late twentieth century, many fittings have been installed in keeping with the original integrity of the design, and the building continues to form an important component of the streetscapes of Lady Lane and Colbeck Street.
