Lawrence Buildings in Mount Street, Manchester, England, is a Victorian office block constructed for the Inland Revenue in 1874–76 by Pennington and Bridgen in the Gothic Revival style.[1] It is a Grade II* listed building as of 2 October 1974.[2]
The building is of sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. Its skyline is dramatic, with "tourelles and slated spirelet, tall crocketed gable(s), low dormers and tall chimneys".[2] Heavily decorated, it displays a statue of Queen Victoria beneath a canopy on the central front, together with a doorcase flanked by "a lion and a unicorn on pedestals, with an elaborate two-storey oriel window above".[1]
Lawrence Buildings forms a group with St Andrew's Chambers, to the right, in a similar style.[2]
As of 2024[update], the ground floor is a café, and the remaining building, floors 1–5, are occupied by flexible office space company, incspaces.[3]
