New offices for the Manchester Courier, and the Manchester Evening Mail, have just been erected for Messrs Thomas Sowler and Sons, by Mark Foggett, builder, under the superintendence of Messrs. Wolstencroft and Son, architects, of Pall Mall, Manchester. The main portion of the building forms one nearly square block. The style of the principal front which faces Cannon-street belongs to the many modern developments of Classic architecture. It is divided into five bays by stone pilasters, which support a cornice above the second floor windows. The third floor is built as an attic over four of these bays; the portion adjoining Bank Buildings being kept low in order to avoid interference with the light of property situated on the other side of the street.
