The Orient Building
Architect: William James Anderson, 1892, with later extension (the right half) ; built as a warehouse, but converted into a model lodging house in 1895 (the Orient Boarding House), and for residential use in 2006.
The façade may show references to mediaeval Italy, but the building is an early exercise in steel frame with concrete floors.
