Abstract: |
A comparative historic building survey was made of two late-Victorian buildings in central Birmingham. The survey buildings lie on the north side of Edmund Street behind Colmore Row. 134/5 is of three storeys with an attic and a basement and was built of brick and terracotta in an Arts and Crafts Gothic style, while 136/8 is of four storeys and was built of brick and terracotta in a Venetian Gothic style. Both buildings have been recognised as being of special architectural interest and are statutory grade II listed SMR 01226 - Bl175, and SMR 01227 - Bl176 respectively. Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit (BUFAU) was commissioned to undertake the survey by KUC Properties, a subsidiary of Chase Midland Plc, through its project agents Atkins Faithful and Gould. The historic building recording was carried out between January and April 2003 in advance of, and during, a programme of partial demolition that involved the dismantling of structures to the back of these properties but the retention of the frontages within an office block designed by Associated Architects. |
