Waldorf Hotel, Cooper Street

Another Waldorf in town used to be the Waldorf Hotel on Cooper Street, above what is now the Tiger Lounge basement bar.  Seen here as a Wilsons hotel in the 1970s, Waldorf House is nowadays home to SHM Group.  It was originally Manchester's Freemason's Hall when built in 1863.  A closer look shows the four statues of Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance and Justice, and Masonic symbols, all over this fine building.
