Port of Liverpool Building

Along with its dramatic sister buildings – The Royal Liver Building and the Cunard Building – these waterfront beauties are known collectively as the ‘Three Graces’ and are essential components in Liverpool’s UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site.
Designed in the Edwardian Baroque style, the Port of Liverpool Building is quite monumental in its physical structure, particularly noted for its large impressive dome, which acts as the focal point of the rectangular building. Standing 220 feet tall, the Port of Liverpool Building is ranked fourteenth in the list of tallest buildings in Liverpool. Of particular note are the highly decorative details, both in the interior of the building and on the exterior, plus the multiple maritime references and ornate and expensive furnishings.
In 2001 Liverpool-based property developer, Downing, acquired the building and between 2006 and 2009 spent more than £10m to restore many of its original features to their former glory, some of which, for instance the dome, were damaged in the Blitz.
With a significant investment of time, expertise and money, the Port of Liverpool Building has undergone a major overhaul and thankfully been reinstated to its rightful place as one of Liverpool’s most prestigious business addresses. Come to Liverpool’s waterfront and see it in all its Baroque splendour with your own eyes.
