Redfern Building
The Redfern Building is a Grade II listed building which was completed in 1936 in Manchester, England. The building is situated on Dantzic Street and meets the junction of Mayes Street and Hanover Street. It overlooks Sadler's Yard, a public square and event space. Redfern was originally built for office and warehouse use.
The seven-storey building has a flat roof and consists of pale brown brick. A noticeable service tower exists to the north of the building. Architecture critic Clare Hartwell wrote in Pevsner in 2001, "It is a pity that this [building] does not enjoy a better site - its impact is partly lost due to its towering neighbours and its relationship with the adjoining Holyoake House."
