Manchester Reform Club, Grade II* listed Victorian club building in Spring Gardens, Manchester, England.
The corner building features sandstone walls with polychrome details, Gothic Revival elements, elaborate turrets, oriel windows, and decorated balconies across three floors.
The Manchester Reform Club, designed by Edward Salomons, opened in 1871 as a gathering place for Liberal Party members under Prime Minister William Gladstone's administration.
The building's Venetian Gothic architecture marks the influence of John Ruskin's principles, combining medieval decorative elements with Italian palazzo design features.
The structure now functions as a restaurant and bar, with the addition of House of Books & Friends, an independent bookshop and cafe space in 2022.
Winston Churchill delivered his election victory speech from the building's ornate balcony in 1906, marking a significant moment in British political history.
