Most impressive and imposing, Manchester's tallest building when built in 1932, by Joseph Sunlight. Built of Portland stone, its height is accentuated by the dominant corner towers and their slit-like windows. Grade II* listed. It was built for Sunlight's property business, but now houses offices, shops and a health club, including the original basement swimming pool. The tower nicely complements that of the nearer building: Image
