Avery's built this new office block around 1897 after taking over the Soho Foundry from the ailing James Watt & Co. A fine example of brick and terracotta work of the period, although now unoccupied and in deteriorating condition. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6262059 for a close view of the pediment and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6262065 for location
