Centuries In The Making
Make history with a Neoclassical landmark
Set amidst the historic charm of Merchant City
Dating back to 1844, Citation’s rich history adds to its vibrant character and timeless charm. Originally designed by Clarke & Bell as the Sheriff Court building in the mid-19th century, its stunning features were carefully preserved during a thoughtful redevelopment 160 years later.
The sandstone columns define the striking B-listed exterior, delicately illuminated by fairy lights, creating a picture-perfect ambience that evokes both history and elegance.
