The southern piazza was filled in, the southern ground floor arcade covered over, and the top floor retail space extended into an area formerly occupied by a terrace cafe. [1] The freehold was later purchased by Harrogate Borough Council. [2] In 2023, the council put it up for sale for £6 million. At the time, tenants included Sports Direct, Next and TK Maxx. [3]
The building's facades are in the neoclassical style. It is built of sandstone, with a green copper roof. There are statues on the roofline; they were originally intended to depict classical subjects, but ultimately, contemporary subjects were selected. [1]
