St Pauls House, Leeds, Grade II* listed building in Park Square, Leeds, England
St Pauls House features Hispano-Moorish design elements with prominent minarets and intricate brickwork patterns across its exterior. The structure combines multiple office floors with ornamental detailing, positioned in Park Square in central Leeds.
The building was constructed in 1878 as a warehouse and cloth-cutting facility for Sir John Barran, marking an important chapter in Leeds' industrial development. This project exemplified the city's growing textile trade during the Victorian era.
The building reflects the boldness of late 19th-century commercial architecture in Leeds, where merchants competed to create eye-catching structures. Its ornamental Moorish design stands out among the more functional neighboring buildings.
The building sits conveniently in the city center with good access to public transportation and nearby parking options. Visitors can freely view the striking exterior from Park Square, making it easy to appreciate the architecture without special arrangements.
The original terracotta minarets were replaced with exact fiberglass reproductions during a 1976 restoration project, preserving the building's distinctive look. This solution allowed the structure to maintain its striking appearance while protecting it from further deterioration.
