Fairhurst, it was completed by 1937 for the English Sewing Cotton Company. Arkwright House is built in a neo-classical style with some art deco motifs which was widely prominent during the 1930s. Arkwright House was heavily damaged in the 1992 Manchester bombing and needed work to repair the building.[1] It is marked by it giant Corinthian order columns and the use of Portland stone as the exterior.[2] The building has been described as 'sinister' by one architecture critic, suggesting it shares some similarities with Nazi architecture where classical buildings were preferred.[3] Hartwell describes the front façade facing Parsonage Gardens as architecturally 'impressive'.[2] References1. ^{{Cite news |title=1992: Bomb explosions in Manchester |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/december/3/newsid_2519000/2519715.stm |work=BBC News |accessdate=2012-09-29}} 2. ^1 {{Cite book |title=Pevsner Architectural Guide - Manchester |last=Hartwell |first=Clare |page=245 |year=2001}} 3. ^{{Cite news |title=The Good, The Standard And The Ugly: Arkwright House |url=http://www.manchesterconfidential.co.uk/Culture/Arts/The-Good-The-Standard-And-The-Ugly-Arkwright-House |work=Manchester Confidential |date=22 June 2011 |accessdate=2012-09-29}} External links{{Manchester B&S}} 3 : Grade II listed buildings in Manchester|Houses completed in 1937|Neoclassical architecture in England |
