38 Bridge Street is a commercial property in Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade listed building. [1] The building was constructed in 1897 and was designed by the local architects Douglas and Fordham. [1] [2] It is the only new building designed by Douglas to incorporate a section of the Chester Rows. [2]

The building is in three storeys and is constructed in yellow sandstone and brick with stone dressings. The top storey is timber-framed. A modern shop front has been inserted into the lowest storey. The middle storey, which incorporates a section of the Rows, has a timber balustrade, behind which is the walkway, and then another shop front. The top storey is jettied. On the face overlooking Bridge Street are two six-light oriel windows under a gable, and a smaller three-light casement window to the right. On the south side, overlooking Pierpoint Lane, are small windows in both the middle and the upper storeys. [1] Douglas' biographer Edward Hubbard considers it is one of his "most heavily decorated half-timber works". [2]

As of 2012 row level of the building is occupied by designer womenswear brand The Editeur, [3] and the street level by Italian restaurant chain Carluccio's. [4]
