Nottingham Castle gatehouse. Washington House was occupied after the First World War as a Public Assistance Office and damaged in air raids in the Second World War during the 1941 Nottingham Blitz. More recently used as accountant's offices (Prior & Palmer, then Cooper Parry Prior & Palmer, latterly PKF Cooper Parry) and at some point knocked through and joined with No. 54 High Pavement. The whole site (including the adjacent properties on Shorthill and the main Trivett factory building, was sold and in November 2007, then No. 54 and No.56 were renamed formally as Lace Market House during the development by local businessman, Nicholas Max, as a business centre serving the newly evolving Nottingham Creative Quarter. It was closed down some ten years later (December 2017) pending conversion as part of a larger residential development scheme and sold to new developers (Abode (Nottingham) Ltd) later that year. There is a simple cave system underneath comprising a passageway and bricked up alcoves leading to a chamber close to the cliff edge to the south. The chamber is fitted with brick built bins but mainly filled with building rubble which is likely to have arisen from the demolition some time ago of the properties above, being a row of houses fronting the ancient street called Mailn Hill. The whole flattened area was used for parking by Lace Market House but now stands empty awaiting redevelopment. The main listed building despite many internal alterations has a good main staircase plus side stairs and various areas where original coving etc remains. There are two good plaster relief ceiling roses in the main area and some Georgian wooden cupboards of note in a private office. A substantial rear extension comprising a meeting hall and upper rooms dating from Victorian times may have been used for parish council or ecclesiastical purposes and shows evidence to the rear of a separate entrance. The ground floor hall was used part-time by a religious group, the Apostolic Fellowship of Christ, which held services on Wednesdays and Sundays until its closure pre-development. Unfortunately this rear section of the building is, despite objections, scheduled to be demolished as part of the development plans approved by the Council in recent years.

and a hoist for the carriage of goods in the loft area with trapdoors evident below. More recently used as accountant's offices for Prior & Palmer in conjunction with the No.56 building but internally many alterations have erased much of the interior including no sign of the original staircase. Whilst the loft area is broadly in close to original state (with exposed reed walls, blue distemper surfaces and original floors) the other storeys have been remodelled and with only small areas of detail, such as coving, evident behind suspended ceilings. Repaired in recent years and used as offices and, with No.56 next door, in
November 2007 was renamed formally as Lace Market House and developed as a business centre serving the newly evolving Nottingham Creative Quarter. Closed down (December 2017) pending conversion as part of a larger residential development scheme. Access to the rear is via a side gate which opens into a very small courtyard area which mainly serves the neighbouring buildings. From there can be seen some iron steps and below there some lower storeys. The front of No.54 has cellars carved from the sandstone which were used in part for the storage of coal; the architecture in this area only one floor below is curious in retaining evidence of a different layout to that currently including a redundant stone lintel. There are bricked up areas that appear not to have been recently explored but to the rear extensive work has taken place to create additional space with evidence of further unexplored spaces below.

Haines presided over a parish of roughly 45,000, and it was during his time at
Washington House that relations between the Anglican and dissenting populations broke down, it is said to the point that in 1799 shots were fired through the bedroom window while Haines and his wife slept inside. In 1808 a Dr. Bristow, presumably the owner, sued the widow of the former vicar
