The tower of the former Metropolitan Buildings
The Radio City/Post Office tower overlooks.
The building is now vacant, but reported to be planned as a casino. Hardly what the architect had in mind!

Municipal Buildings, Dale Street, Liverpool
Designed by Liverpool Corporation's Surveyor, John Weightman, 1862, and altered in execution by his successor, E.R. Robson, 1867-68. "The aim was to unite the scattered offices of the expanding Corporation". Suitably grand, festooned with columns, pilasters and statues, and a centrepiece to catch the eye - a clocktower and pyramidal spire. Not being able to pin down the style, at the time The Builder described it as "Corinthianesque", not very illuminating. Grade II* listed.
To this day it is in use by Liverpool City Council.

Westminster Buildings, Crosshall Street, Liverpool
Very solid-looking Gothic with paired windows in pointed arches. The entrance tower looks stunted because once it was topped by a spire. By Richard Owens, 1879-80. Grade II listed.
Originally containing shops, offices and warehousing, it was being converted to flats, this process apparently not complete despite Pevsner reporting that it was underway in 2005.
