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

67 Whitworth Street, Manchester
Aka Lancaster House. Even by the standards of Manchester's imposing former warehouses, this is breathtakingly, er, imposing, with its remarkable corner turret extending in four stages above the rest of the building (Image]). Otherwise it is a characteristic combination of brick and orange terracotta. Built 1905-10. Grade II* listed.
One of several massive steel-framed former Lloyds packing warehouses in the area, all by Harry S. Fairhurst, and all now offices or flats. Pevsner notes that Lloyds "was formed in 1896 and within thirty years was packing and despatching one third of foreign cotton trade in Lancashire".
