Pevsner describes the style as "coarse but monumental Greek Revival". Stuccoed brick. Some of the detail has been lost along the way. Built in 1835-36 by Fallows & Hart for J.B. Minor as a warehouse for butter and cheese. Grade II listed. It's now an entertainment venue (club etc) called "The Buttermarket".
