Arkwright House, Neoclassical office building in Parsonage Gardens, Manchester, England.

Arkwright House features giant Corinthian columns and Portland stone facades with symmetrical design elements across its seven-story structure.

Local architect Harry S. Fairhurst designed this Grade II listed building, which was completed in 1937 for the English Sewing Cotton Company.

The building represents the architectural preferences of the 1930s, incorporating both Neoclassical principles and Art Deco motifs in its design.

The building contains 28 basement parking spaces, eight showers, 40 cycle racks, and five elevators to serve its office tenants.

The structure underwent significant repairs following damage from the 1992 Manchester bombing, leading to modern interior renovations.
