Nos. 26‑32 is a six bay symmetrical design with central brick stack. Ground
floor altered but retains elements of original shopfronts and cast iron railings
above stone cornice. Timber upper floor windows are sliding sashes with single
pane lower sash and multi‑paned upper sashes. Balustraded brick parapet with
stone coping and three ball finials flanking large gabled dormers.
A good example of
late Victorian office building in brick and stone. The building has the
qualities of style and materials of adjacent listed buildings and makes
a significant contribution to the cohesive late 19th century character
and appearance of Lichfield Street which was totally redeveloped in the
1880s. Group value.
