Geocache Description:

Here's another for the listed series.

St.Pauls House is located on St.Paul Street, and over looks Park Square, (the park is well worth a visit).


St Paul's House was designed by Thomas Ambler and was opened in 1878. This stunning building is of "Hispano-Moorish" style, and is build from red and pink brick with a bit of terracotta thrown in for good luck.

 It was build as a "cloth-cutting works built for John Barran, the founder of the mass-produced, ready-made clothing industry in Leeds.  John Barran was a Mayor of Leeds and served as its Liberal M.P. from 1876-1885.

The building was extensively altered and restored in 1976 with a completely new interior, creating new office space.

 The minarets which were originally terracotta, but are now fibreglass reproductions, though can’t tell from ground level. It really is an outstanding building.
