Watson Fothergill's offices, Victorian Gothic Revival office building in George Street, Nottingham, England.
Watson Fothergill's offices is a Victorian Gothic Revival building on George Street featuring horizontal bands of red and blue brick alternating across its facade. Dark timber eaves, stone carvings, and decorative statues adorn the exterior walls.
The building was constructed between 1894 and 1895 after Watson Fothergill needed to relocate his practice due to the Great Central Railway development changing the area. The new location became the showcase for his distinctive architectural vision.
The building displays the names of celebrated architects like Gilbert Scott and William Burges carved into its walls, reflecting the architectural ideas that inspired its design.
The building now contains residential spaces on its upper floors while preserving the Gothic architectural details on its exterior. The facade and carved ornaments remain visible and accessible to view from street level.
A Chaucer quote about craftsmanship greets visitors at the entrance, celebrating skilled work and artistry. Terracotta tiles decorated with sunflowers and Gothic patterns add playful detail to the stonework.
