Hanover House, Hanover Street, Liverpool
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 27 Jul 2011
Built as the Crane Building, 1913-15, by Walter Aubrey Thomas. It is, as Pevsner remarks, very striking, due to its tapered form (contrary to appearances it is all there, it hasn't been cut in half or anything) and the very lofty red-brick upper section, its height accentuated by giant pilasters/piers. All very American. Grade II listed. Originally a shop selling musical instruments, it now houses a bar and restaurant at ground floor, and serviced offices above.
