This is sometimes called the Pitt Building, in Trumpington Street. Cambridge University Press is also called the Pitt Press. It was granted letters patent by Henry VIII in 1534, so it is the world's oldest publishing house, and the second largest university press in the world. This magnificent building dates from 1831 and was designed by Edward Blore in Gothic style. It was originally the headquarters of the company. Currently it is used by them as a conference centre. It is Grade II listed. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-47314-cambridge-university-press-pitt-press-uni
