Browns restaurant
This fine Baroque building dates from 1902, designed by Charles Heathcote, for Parr's Bank, later part of the National Westminster group. After the bank closed it became a pub called the Atheneum. It now houses an expensive restaurant, part of a rather superior national chain.
This is a grade II listed building. See https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1255042

26 Spring Gardens, Manchester
Built as a post office, a function the ground floor still fulfils. Underneath this recently-remodelled exterior is a slab-and-podium block by Cruickshank & Seward, 1969. Now offices, re-named the Zenith Building.

Former Parr's Bank, Spring Gardens, Manchester
Very opulent, even by bank standards. For a start, the whole facade is of red sandstone. By Charles Heathcote, 1902, in "his usual bold Edwardian Baroque, with Art Nouveau motifs in the ironwork." A splendid dome too, and pairs of Doric columns on very high pedestals and crowned by strange panels and brackets. Grade II* listed.
These days the opulence is reserved for those dining at Brown's. Pevsner remarks that the interior is "amongst the most opulent of its date surviving in Manchester, or for that matter, in London."

Spring Gardens Post Office
The Post Office on Spring Gardens was once a huge Victorian building http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/gone/generalpostoffice.html That building was demolished in the 1960s and a new building at 26 Spring Gardens was designed by Cruickshank and Seward and built in 1969. It was composed of a three-storey podium block with an 8-storey tower above. Its major tenant was the Post Office. In 2005 a £70 million refurbishment began that was completed in 2006. The building was then renamed The Zenith Building Image http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour5/area5page54.html

Former Reform Club, King Street, Manchester
A sumptuous essay in Venetian Gothic. At each end are marvellous oriels culminating in turrets with spiky projections (Image]). The first floor has a row of large windows with stripy pointed arches. By Edward Salomons, 1870-71. Grade II* listed.
It is now a bar and restaurant, and possibly a club too, though, sadly, no longer one likely to be frequented by prodigiously-whiskered Victorian gents.
