The Spirella Building.
This would be to Letchworth what the Winking Bridge is to Gateshead or The Bullring to Birmingham, the single most readily identifiable building in town. Once a factory making women's corsets (I wonder if they also made men's) it is now offices and function rooms.
The picture only shows half of the building which is symmetrical. I couldn't stand far enough back to get it all in.

Spirella Building
A view of this magnificent former corset factory, now a base for small businesses. To me this restoration shows how a great old building can be retained in all its glory, sympathetically modernised inside with high quality design, and thus serve a useful purpose in the twenty-first century.
