Built as Cobden House (for the eponymous Richard), the first Manchester commission of esteemed local architect Edward Walters, 1839. Pevsner says it can "claim to be the first palazzo-inspired warehouse in the city." Red brick with spare stone trim, mostly around the segment-headed second-floor windows. The ground floor is a modern facsimilie. Grade II listed. There were Lloyd's Bank cashpoints at ground floor, but otherwise the building looked unused.
