Built in 1897, Lawrence’s Hardware is another collaboration of the architects, the Alexanders, Ewart & Carrie, and it shows. The brick work on the upper two floors of this three storey building is quite impressive.

This building was the first three storey structure on Baker Street. Note the highly decorative brickwork facade, arched windows and a high parapet. The cornice projects so far from the parapet that it required the support of cast–iron modillions.
