Corner site with North Street, 4-storeys with basement, 17 bays with corner bay and three bays to North Street; addition at E end of five storeys and six bays. The main corner entrance has glazed double doors and pilasters with decorated Ionic capitals dividing the bays which are entirely glazed; clock to second floor, corner crowned with a dome supported on a low wall with paired windows, dentilled cornice, metal-clad dome, bud finial. Bays 7 and 17: entrances with large circular overlights, door and window lintels of Marmo, moulded string course carried over doorways as segmental hoods; right entrance bay has pilastered upper floors and small rectangular and round window. Large windows to each floor, segmental-arched basement windows, rectangular to ground and 1st floors, segmental heads with three 'keystones' on second floor; extending to sills of square 3rd-floor windows, all with metal pivoted frames. Dentilled cornice, blocking course, parapet with blocking piece over entrances, geometric metal balustrade. Rear (to Trafalgar Street): proportions as front, Marmo used only for keystones and cornice, entrance right. The 1926 extension is in the same style, the right (entrance) bay wider and with triple windows to upper floors. INTERIOR: not inspected.

HISTORICAL NOTE: the building is described in some detail in the Yorkshire Post's Tercentenary Supplement, July 1926. It was built 'on modern fire-proof lines', with a floor-space of 5,000 square yards; basement canteen, cutting, sewing, pressing rooms, stock and show rooms. Henry and William Heaton joined a small wholesale clothing business in York Place in 1899; by 1903 the firm had moved to King Street and employed over 100; in 1907 new premises were bought in Cookridge Street and the firm was making mantles, coats and ladies' skirts; in 1911 the business moved to North Street and 'Alwetha' raincoats were made. In 1914 the firm bought this site; building was held up but the new factory was opened in July 1916, making clothing of various kinds for the Army and Navy. By 1926 over 700 people were employed, a further 300 in the extension, and the firm had representatives in seven countries world-wide. In 1878 John Barran pioneered wholesale clothing manufacture (St Paul's House, Nos 20 & 22 St Paul's Street (qv)). This building represents Leeds' principal connection with the textile trade by the early C20.
