View of the Inland Revenue Office, on Mount Street, Manchester; now known as the Lawrence Buildings. The building which is of sandstone ashlar with a slate roof, was constructed for the Inland Revenue in 1874-6 by Pennington and Bridgen in the Gothic Revival style. It has distinctive arched windows and tall crocketed gables. The corner doorway is decorated by a lion on one side and a unicorn on the other, each stood on pedestals. An elaborate two-storey oriel window sits directly above the entrance.
