The distinctive style of this idiosyncratic Nottingham architect was evident at first glance, but nothing on the building indicates what its original purpose was - there is simply a memorial stone dated 1884. A bit of further research brought to light that it was built as a temperance tearooms; interesting to note that one of the current occupants is still providing non-alcoholic refreshments!
