Leader House, Grade II listed Georgian house in Sheffield, England
Leader House stands on Surrey Street with three stories of brick construction, featuring Doric columns and a large canted bay window.
Built in 1770 by the Duke of Norfolk for his agent Vincent Eyre, the house received its name from Thomas Leader, a silversmith who leased it in 1777.
The building represents Sheffield's Georgian architectural heritage and connects to the city's metalworking tradition through its association with Thomas Leader's silversmith business.
The building currently serves as administration offices for Museums Sheffield, maintaining its role as a functional part of the city's infrastructure.
A public campaign in 1970 successfully prevented the demolition of Leader House, which was planned to make way for a circular register office.
