46 Fountain Street, Manchester
The best building on the street, according to Pevsner. Built as Overseers' and Churchwardens' offices in 1852 by Thomas Worthington, who also added the top two floors in 1858. The windows vary from flat-arched to pedimented to arcaded and, at the top, oeil-de-boeuf. Grade II* listed.
It is now offices.

1960s/1970s block comprising shops at ground floor and offices above. Stone panels between the windows are bevelled, which makes for restless facades.

41 Spring Gardens, Manchester
Built for the National Provincial Bank by Alfred Waterhouse, 1888-90. Not at all Waterhouseian. For one thing it is not of vivid brick or stone and for another it is not in his customary style, Gothic. Pevsner tentatively suggests "free German Renaissance" because of all the gables. Also, very pronounced brackets (far left), pilasters, and first-floor windows with curly pediments. Grade II listed.
