The building on Albert Square was built in 1983 as offices for the Commercial Union. The site was previously occupied by two buildings. On the corner of Tasle Lane and Albert Square was St. George's Chambers. Beside it and running around onto Brazennose Street was the Scottish Provident Building which had a stone tower near the corner and was built in 1883. http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour6/area6page22.html The ground floor is occupied by "Brasserie Chez Gerard" In the window is a Bee sculpture Image
