Abstract: |
A Level 3 historic building recording was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the Queens Buildings, 37-43 Rutland Street, Leicester between January and March 2017. The survey studied the former Alfred Tyler and Sons warehouse and commercial property built by Harding and Topott towards the end of the 19th century. More recently the building has been used as a snooker hall, nightclub and hairdressing salon but is currently unused. Built in a style known as Edwardian Baroque the main facades of this building are highly decorated with many different architectural details. Internally the former warehouse is much more functional with few of the embellishments seen outside. A number of compromises have had to be made within the building in order for it to fit into the rather awkward street corner site. The building is located in an important part of the city and has always been a prominent part of the street scene. It is located in the heart of the regenerated Cultural Quarter of the city. |
