What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Hepper House. Was built in 1863 as auction rooms and offices for John Hepper and Sons, the premier auctioneers and estate agents in 19th and 20th Century Leeds. Its architect, George Corson, lavished its frontage and vestibule with an eclectic mix of Romanesque and Byzantine, French and English Gothic styles. Recorded plaque organisation: Leeds Civic Trust.
George Corson was a notable Victorian architect known for his eclectic style; John Hepper was the founder of one of Leeds's leading auctioneering and estate agency firms in the 19th and 20th centuries. Their collaboration resulted in Hepper House, which stands as an architectural testament to both their professional achievements.
