Old Orleans - Broad Street - former Islington Glassworks / Lying-in Hospital

This is the Old Orleans building on Broad Street. It is at 80 Broad Street.

It was the Islington Glassworks of 1815. Three-bay, three-storey centrepiece built as the owner's house. Stone strings between the floors, Doric porch. The windows were heavy architraves and lintels are probably of 1863 by J J Bateman, who added the wings then, when it became the Lying-In Hospital. Railings with Gothic piers by Martin & Chamberlain, 1869.

From: Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Hunter

There is a possibility that this is the following (from Heritage Gateway), so it is probably a Grade II listed building.

Built 1814 as Islington House for Rice Harris. Red brick and stucco; slate roof. Symmetrical building of 9 bays, the centre 3 of 2 1/2 storeys, the outer ones of 2 storeys and set back somewhat. The centre with central Tuscan porch with entablature with triglyph frieze and 2 sash windows each flanked by pilasters carrying a segmental arch. Broad band at first floor level. First floor with sash windows with cornices. Broad band at second floor level. Second floor with square casement windows within plain flat surrounds. Cornice and blocking course. The outer bays have, on the ground floor, windows with cornices and, on the first floor, windows with plain flat surrounds. All the windows of the outer bays altered to casements. The forecourt wall end railing built 'at the sole cost of 2 friends' apparently circa 1860.
