Background

History

The building was designed by Charles William Long and constructed in the 1920s, in a style described by Pevsner as "Neo-Grec". It was built for and occupied for many decades as the head office of the Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society. The east side of Bloomsbury Square was formerly a terrace of houses, which included the London house of the 18th century judge Lord Mansfield, which was looted in the Gordon Riots.

It has eight main storeys, plus basement and sub-basement, with 15 bays along the east and west elevations, and five bays on the north and south sides.…
