List description for 12-16 seems to describe building at 12-14 while McCombie describes 12-16 as a fussily modelled four-bay elevation by Johnson & Hicks, c. 1879, plus two altered earlier 19th century bays. A final alteration in 1900 saw the removal of the left hand door on the ground floor and alterations to the basement. Further changes are recorded in the TWAS for 1920, 1933 and 1955. The 1933 and 1955 works involved substantial alterations to the basement, ground floor and fourth and fifth floor accommodation. Some time between 1933 and 2002 the rear portion of the building was demolished.

Part of the last Grainger development in Grey Street of 1842 by John Dobson. Sandstone ashlar, hipped Welsh slate roof. Classical building on corner with recessed, rounded corner bay. Three and a half storeys, four bays on Grey Street and one wide bay on Mosley Street. Moulded architraves to sash windows, tripartite on Mosley Street. Projecting second-floor sills rest on long brackets. The southern bay projects slightly with pedimented first-floor window. Moulded and coved eaves cornice. C19 shop fronts. McCombie - perhaps a rebuild of an 18th century house, aided by a Corporation grant to Grainger. Dobson signed one of the surviving drawings, Grainger another. Restored after years of neglect, now a hotel (major works undertaken 1998-2002). Big brackets over the round-arched first-floor windows support stone shelves, originally balustraded balconies. Has been linked independently to both no. 4, 6 and 8 Grey Street and no 21 Mosley Street. Plans of 1885, 1902 and 1905 show that no. 2 and original 21 Mosley St were linked at basement level. Other plans exist from 1906 and 1907. In 1924 the premises had previously been occupied by The Lancashire & Cheshire Insurance Corporation Ltd and now was occupied by John Sinclair Ltd a tobacconists.
