82 Princess Street, Manchester
Aka Asia House. Very imposing warehouse built 1906-09 by I.R.E. Birkett. The height and the combination of red-brown sandstone and pink brick catch the eye. Grade II* listed.
Pevsner observes that the multiple companies originally occupying the self-contained units of such a building would have provided "portering, making-up, packing and despatch services". It has now been converted to flats.
Its close cousin, Manchester House, is next door: Image

Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Manchester
This grand building on Oxford Street was formerly the offices of the Refuge Assurance Company. It dates from 1891 when it was designed by Alfred Waterhouse but was significantly extended in 1910 and again in 1932. Refuge vacated it in 1987, moving to new purpose-built offices in Wilmslow, and the name has not survived, the company having since been absorbed into the Royal London Group. The building itself remained vacant for nearly a decade before being converted into a hotel opening as the Palace Hotel in 1996. After several changes of name and ownership, the Kimpton Clocktower name was adopted in 2020 as part of the InterContinental Hotels Group.
