Leeds Corn Exchange, Victorian commercial building in Leeds, England
The Leeds Corn Exchange features an oval structure topped by a glass dome, with diamond-shaped rustication and Tuscan columns framing its entrances.
Built in 1864 by architect Cuthbert Brodrick, the Grade I listed building replaced a previous corn exchange located at the north end of Briggate.
The carved stone faces on the exterior walls, known as keystones, represent different nations, reflecting the international trade connections of Victorian Leeds.
The building houses 30 independent retailers and food establishments, operating Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sundays until 4:30 PM.
The oval-shaped structure remains one of only three corn exchanges in Britain that maintain a connection to commerce through its retail operations.
