History

Built in 1878 as a warehouse and cloth cutting works for Sir John Barran, 1st Baronet, this is a Grade II* listed building.[1] It stands in Park Square, Leeds.

The building was designed by Thomas Ambler in an ornate Hispano-Moorish style[clarification needed]. The building was extensively altered and restored in 1976 with a wholly new interior.[1] The minarets, originally terracotta, are now fibreglass reproductions.
