Description


MANCHESTER

SJ8498SW MOSLEY STREET 698-1/28/237 (West side) 03/10/74 Nos.14 AND 16 Harvest House

GV II

Textile warehouse, subsequently shops. 1839, by Edward Walters, for Richard Cobden; altered. Red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings (roof concealed). Rectangular plan at right-angles to street. Italian palazzo style. A 6-bay facade formerly 4 storeys with basement and attic (the attic probably a later C19 addition or alteration), but the basement and ground floor altered as a high single-storey shop front; the surviving upper floors have rusticated quoins to the corners and to the inner sides of the outer bays up to 2nd floor, a band over the 3rd floor, a prominent modillioned cornice, and an attic storey with parapet. All the windows are segmental-headed recessed sashes, those at 1st floor of the outer bays under segmental stone lintels with triple keystones, the recesses of the 4-bay centre carried up from 1st to 2nd floor (giving the impression of a giant pilastered arcade), and the heads of all the 2nd floor windows linked by stilted hoodmoulds with triple keystones. Most of the windows of the main floors have margin panes, and the attic has 6-pane sashes in square recesses with brick dentils. History: first work by Edward Walters in this city, and probably the first palazzo-inspired warehouse design.
