Multi Media Centre, La Pharmacie and Medicine Bar, 72-80 Corporation Road

  • Description

    This dominant Victorian building adds significantly to the Corporation Road street scene. Originally built as a shop, warehouse and offices for the Middlesbrough Co-operative Society, it was used by Binns during the 1940’s and 50’s, after their Linthorpe Road premises were destroyed by fire. Now a multi media centre, bar and restaurant, it has lost the original ground floor shop front layout. This three-storey building is of dark red brick in Flemish bond and possesses many interesting architectural features. The five bay front elevation is symmetrical, with three projecting bays to each side and gables featuring decorative faience. The side elevations have even more impressive gables with bull’s-eye windows and terracotta faience in a beauxarts/armorial style. Ionic sandstone pilasters divide the first floor windows, with projecting bay oriel windows to the second floor above a sandstone cornice. Other notable features include the corner Bartizans with lead domes.
