Flockton had no doubt about the quality of The Mount and its location, calling it, "a handsome Ionic edifice ... substantially built and in design and taste far exceeding any of the present erections in the neighbourhood of Sheffield".

The success of The Mount greatly enhanced Flockton's reputation as an architect and he used the design of the house as a basis for his better known and grander Wesley College which he built nearby on Glossop Road in 1838.

[4] The Mount was purchased by the Sheffield department store John Walsh Ltd. in the early years of the 20th century and flat numbers 10 to 16 were used as housing for their staff.

By the end of 1941 Walsh's had moved back to the city centre, taking up short-term residences on Fargate and Church Street until a new permanent store was built after the war.

[5] In 1958 The Mount was purchased by the United Steel Companies for offices, being converted by the Sheffield architects Mansell Jenkinson Partnership who also installed lifts in the building.
