Tower Buildings, Water Street, Liverpool
And tower it does. A formidable Edwardian pile, its skin of glazed terracotta draped over a steel skeleton. With its crenellated towers it is reminiscent of a fortress, and in fact Pevsner remarks that it boasts a "bizarre mix of Baroque and medieval motifs". (Perhaps the architect was conscious of the Stanley family's medieval tower which stood on this site.) It was built 1906-10 to the designs of Walter Aubrey Thomas. Grade II* listed.
It is now flats.

Tower Building, Liverpool
By the same architect (W Aubrey Thomas) as the Royal Liver Building opposite, built 1908, and named after the Liverpool Tower that made way for it. Now rather smart apartments.

Entrance to Tower Building, Liverpool
Perhaps the most appealing feature of the massive 1908 Tower Building opposite the Royal Liver Building is the decorative lettering over the entrance.
