Former Royal Insurance, North John Street, Liverpool
Mightily impressive Baroque, its blocky forms and vertical accents, notably the main gold-domed tower, conveying loftiness and grandeur. The building is actually long and thin, but one doesn't get that impression. One of the earliest steel frames in the country is clad in grey granite and Portland stone. By James F. Doyle, 1896-1903. Richard Norman Shaw was cited as "advisory architect", but, Pevsner comments, "his contribution is unclear" (the turrets appear to owe something to him, e.g. Image]). Grade II* listed. Having fallen into dereliction in recent years, a plan has recently been approved to convert it to a hotel.

Prudential Assurance, Dale Street, Liverpool
How to identify architects, no. 17. If a building is Victorian, was built for the Prudential Assurance and is very red, then the architect was almost certainly Alfred Waterhouse. The first two conditions will suffice in most cases. In many cases his son, Paul, will have been involved later. Here, dad built the original in 1886, before son enlarged, including adding the tower, in 1904-06. Brick and terracotta. Above the entrance is an elaborately-corbelled oriel window. Grade II listed.

Liverpool Town Hall
Liverpool Town Hall from Castle Street. The present Town Hall is the third to have been built on or near this site. The first was built in 1515, the second in 1673 and the present building, one of the oldest in Liverpool, in 1754 based on a design by John Wood of Bath. It was gutted by fire in 1794 but was restored. On top of the dome sits a 10ft high statue of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, covered in gold leaf, designed by Felix Rossi, who was sculptor to George IV.
