HISTORY: The original plans for the building, drawn in 1909 show the street frontage range with multi-storey office accommodation to the front part, and warehousing to the rear. The rear 'shopping' was of open plan form to all floors, with 2 multi-flue chimney stacks within the north side wall. The yard stair and doorways to each workshop level suggest that the site was designed for multiple occupancy.

A purpose -built jewellery manufactory of 1910 , made up of offices, warehousing and shopping and designed in the Arts and Craft Free style so strongly represented in Birmingham. This little-altered site displays the distinctive characteristics associated with late C19 and early C20 manufactories in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, now recognised as an historic manufacturing district of international significance.
