The first Italian palazzo front in Bradford, a large home trade warehouse designed by
Andrews and Delanney 1851-53 for the drapery firm of Milligan and Forbes (both
partners served as mayors of Bradford). Five-storeys, ashlar sandstone elevation to
Hall Ings with strong horizontal emphasis provided by the horizontal grooving of
the ground floor and the moulded sill bands and balustraded stone balconies on the
first floor. Dentil enriched, deep modillion bracket eaves cornice, Chamfered
rusticated quoins. Pilaster framed groumd floor windows, flanking strips first floor,
with console brackets supporting broken entablatures with enriched friezes, the
cornices serving as broken forward sills to the second floor windows which have
archivolt arches surmounted by triangular bracketed pediments; very elongated shallow
consoles used as pilaster strips flanking square architrave surround top floor
windows. The rear elevation has similar details but is of 4-storeys only and due to
closer window spacing the decorative features are applied only to alternate windows.
Important site adjacent to St George's Hall.
