A mischievous carved imp above the oriel window on the fantastical facade of Fothergill's offices. The bands of fine red and blue bricks, combined with pale stone, are characteristic of Fothergill's style. "They will return to this [Gothic] style," he said. "No other furnishes such an inexhaustible mine of novelties."
