Description


MANCHESTER

SJ8397NE PETER STREET 698-1/31/274 (North side) 03/10/74 No.37 Harvester House

GV II

Probably merchant's warehouse, now office. 1868, by Clegg and Knowles; altered. Sandstone ashlar (roof concealed but probably slate). Square plan on corner site. Italian palazzo style. Five storeys and basement, 8 bays, with vermiculated plinth, channelled rustication to ground floor and cornice over this, rusticated quoins, moulded sill-bands to all floors, plain frieze, modillioned cornice and balustraded parapet. The ground floor has a round-headed doorway to the right (altered as window), with enrichment including shafts and a cornice on elaborate consoles, an inserted C20 garage entrance to the left, and between these 2 pairs of round-headed windows with stepped voussoirs flanking a square-headed doorway (perhaps inserted) with moulded architrave and cornice. The fenestration of the upper floors is very regular, all the windows having moulded architraves, those at 1st floor with segmental pediments on consoles, those at 2nd floor with shouldered architraves and alternately triangular and segmental pediments, and those to the top 2 floors with cornices, and all these windows sashed without glazing bars. The 8-bay return to Southmill Street has a continuous arcade of round-headed windows at ground floor with linking impost bands, and is otherwise in matching style. Interior not inspected.
