MANCHESTER
SJ8498SE DALE STREET 698-1/29/80 (North East side) Nos.25 AND 27
GV II
Includes: No.22 LEVER STREET. Large home trade textile warehouse and workshop, now fashion warehouse and manufacturing furriers' premises. c.1860-70, altered. Red brick with sandstone ashlar plinth and dressings (roof concealed). Rectangular plan on corner site, with longer side to Dale Street; loading at rear and south side. Chunky late-Georgian style. Basement, 2+2 storeys and attic, with 14 windows to Dale Street and 10 windows to Lever Street. Both these facades are symmetrical, with pilastered corners, the basement treated as a rusticated plinth, banded pilasters to the ground floor, sill-bands at 1st and 2nd floors, interrupted Lombard friezes and a very prominent cornice over the 3rd floor, and attic treated as a high parapet, with front-wall chimneys rising through it. The Dale Street facade has a 2-bay centre distinguished by a giant 2-storey round-headed archway with rusticated ashlar surround including a large carved keystone and a cornice on fluted brackets with guttae, a panelled reveal, and a doorway under a large ornamental cast-iron grill, pilasters framing the windows above, and a square attic turret with 3 round-headed windows and a prominent bracketed cornice. The ground floor has windows with keystones and altered glazing, and at the right-hand end a segmental-headed doorway with panelled ashlar surround including keystone and cornice; most windows on the upper floors are 4-pane sashes (but the 3 to the right of the centre at 4th floor have raised heads breaking the frieze), and the attic has coupled sashes with stone mullions, and corniced chimneys between these windows (but those to the right cut down). The Lever Street facade is similar, with a 4-window centre containing a matching giant arch but without the attic turret and the chimneys. The south side (to Little Lever Street) has 2 bays in similar style, and a 6-bay continuation which has 4-pane sashed windows with gauged brick heads, and a 4-stage segmental-headed former loading slot between the 2nd and 3rd of these. The rear has similar windows and similar loading slots between the 3rd and 4th, and the 7th and 8th. Interior not inspected. HISTORY: occupied c.1900 by T.Oram & Co, woollen manufacturers; 22 Lever Street by Hollings & Sons, manufacturers of costumes and mantles. Forms group with Sevendale House to left (q.v.), Nos.29 and 31 to right (q.v.), No.22 opposite (q.v.), and 24 Lever Street to rear (q.v.).
