Capital House, Chapel Street
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 3 Jul 2011
Built as Foster Wheeler House, 1958-60, the first of countless commercial commissions for Richard Seifert & Partners. Its current appearance, however, must owe everything to a remodelling of 1991 which looks to have been a case of swaddling the original in lots of clashing pullovers. It is one of a cluster of four towers at the east end of Westway. Information from skyscrapernews.com.
