104 London Road, Liverpool
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 27 Jul 2011
An extravagantly top-heavy affair in "fiery" red terracotta, the style Northern Renaissance (Pevsner). Octagonal domed clock tower, a pair of elaborate shaped gables topped by volutes and much else besides. Dated 1899, by W. Hesketh & Co. Now a branch of Natwest Bank, it was built for the Liverpool Furnishing Company, the ample first- and second-floor windows presumably the better to show off their wares.
