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.

Reform Club
The prominent Manchester architect Edward Salomans collaborated with John Philpot-Jones to build this Venetian styled sandstone building. It was the home of the Reform Club from 1871. The Club merged with the Engineers' Club in 1967, to form the Manchester Club, but eventually the Reform Club closed in 1988. The building then became the home of the upmarket Reform Restaurant. Since 2011 one of the occupants has been Liam Gallagher's "Pretty Green" clothing shop. http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour5/area5page52.html
Now the Grade II listed building https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101282987-former-reform-clubmanchester-club-city-centre-ward is home to the Grand Pacific restaurant.

73-79 King Street, Manchester
Built as Norwich Union House. According to Manchester Metropolitan University's Visual Resources it was designed by T.P. Bennett & Son, 1959-60. In 2004-05, its clean lines were swept away in a much feted remodelling which also added two floors. As is de rigueur these days, it has also been given a pompous new name: the Pinnacle.
The ground floor is occupied by a branch of soulless pub chain, All Bar One.
