Hargreaves Building

A former Chapel Street bank now used for hospitality, this building offers a brief exterior architecture stop. Its decorated windows and balconies are the reason to pause here.

Hargreaves Building

Why go

Look up from Chapel Street to pick out Sir James Picton’s details on a commercial building that has changed use over time. The portrait busts and rounded windows offer more to notice than a generic historic facade, particularly on a walk between the waterfront and central streets.

What to look for

  • Spot the portrait busts set around the round-headed windows.
  • Trace the swept balustrades of the upper balconies.

Useful to know

  • See the architectural details from Chapel Street.
  • Contact the present hotel or event venue for any interior visit.
