An impressively monumental building, well sited with plenty of space surrounding it. In plan it is roughly triangular with one convex side seen here. Pevsner describes the style as Venetian Renaissance. It is opulent, faced in Ancaster, Bramley Fell and Portland stones, copiously detailed, with two tiers of pilasters and three eyecatching domes crowned by lanterns. It was built as dock offices to the designs of Christopher Wray in 1867-71. Grade II* listed.
