The prominent Manchester architect Edward Salomans collaborated with John Philpot-Jones to build this Venetian styled sandstone building. It was the home of the Reform Club from 1871. The Club merged with the Engineers' Club in 1967, to form the Manchester Club, but eventually the Reform Club closed in 1988. The building then became the home of the upmarket Reform Restaurant. Since 2011 one of the occupants has been Liam Gallagher's "Pretty Green" clothing shop. http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour5/area5page52.html Now the Grade II listed building https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101282987-former-reform-clubmanchester-club-city-centre-ward is home to the Grand Pacific restaurant.
