Corder House and Sydenham House, Grade II listed Victorian buildings in Sunderland, United Kingdom
Corder House and Sydenham House display Neo-Moorish architecture with terracotta details, Gothic capitals, and elaborate decorative elements across their four-story structures.
Architect Frank Caws designed these buildings in 1889, completing their construction in 1891 with brick materials from David and John Rankin and terracotta by Edwards.
The buildings incorporate multiple architectural influences, from Islamic-inspired elements in Corder House to classical stone garlands and Gothic features in Sydenham House.
Located on Fawcett Street in the Heritage Action Zone, these structures maintain their original features while standing near central Sunderland's main facilities.
The central lantern of Corder House presents a high conical shape, while Sydenham House features raised arches with pendants and scrolled pediments.
