Leicester House
The building
Leicester House is a Gothic-style Victorian commercial warehouse from 1886, in the Flinders Lane precinct off Bligh Place. Its deep cornices and distinctive Florentine arches on the upper level give it one of the most striking façades on the laneway, and it now houses 20 unique private residences.
