Arkwright House, Neoclassical office building in Parsonage Gardens, Manchester, England.
Arkwright House is an office building featuring grand Corinthian columns and Portland stone facades arranged in a symmetrical design across its seven stories. The classical detailing and stone craftsmanship define its substantial presence in Manchester.
The building was completed in 1937 from designs by architect Harry S. Fairhurst and originally served the English Sewing Cotton Company. Its Grade II listed status reflects its importance to the city's architectural heritage.
The building shows a blend of classical elements and 1930s design choices, visible in its grand columns and symmetrical facade. This combination gives the place a formal, sophisticated character shaped by the tastes of that era.
The building provides parking and bicycle storage for those arriving by car or bike. Multiple elevators make it convenient to move between the building's different levels.
The building sustained damage during the 1992 Manchester bombing and underwent major restoration work afterward. The modern interior upgrades show how historic structures can be adapted to meet contemporary needs.
