Baskerville House, Art Deco office building in Centenary Square, Birmingham, England.
Located in Birmingham's central business district, Baskerville House features a double-height reception area illuminated by natural light through large windows.
The site originally contained the residence of John Baskerville until 1919 when Birmingham City Council purchased the land for their Civic Centre project.
The building's exterior displays the refined characteristics of 1930s municipal architecture, with Portland stone facades and symmetrical window arrangements.
Baskerville House offers 195,108 square feet of office space across seven floors, with six elevators providing access throughout the building.
A sculpture titled 'Industry and Genius' stands outside, featuring bronze and stone letters spelling 'Virgil' to honor typographer John Baskerville.
