The upper part of the building seen from Rutland Street car park, not readily photographable from street level. The building was designed by architect Percy Gill and constructed in 1934 in Art Deco/Moderne style for the Nottingham Society of Artists, who still occupy it. The statue represents St Luke, patron saint of artists (not to mention physicians, bachelors, surgeons, students and butchers and apparently fortune tellers) and is shown holding an artist's palette.
