Details Office building, now also with shops, built in 1903 designed by R.G.Wilson on the site of a building demolished in 1901. Also known as Crown Court. There was internal fire damage in 1998 and it was subsequently modernised. It is a five-storey and attic, distinctive and decorative five-bay Edwardian Baroque building of grey granite ashlar to the street elevation (north) and coursed granite to the rear. There is a central entrance door with a deep consoled segmental canopy, canted tripartite windows to the centre and outside bays rising from the first storey, banded rustication to the first floor with Gibbsian surrounds to the windows, cill courses, a deep mutuled cornice to the fourth storey, a partially balustraded parapet, large semicircular pedimented wallhead dormers with decorative panels and predominantly timber plate glass sash and case windows. The grey slate roof has broad gable and ridge stacks.
