Surrey House, Grade I listed historic building in Norwich, England
Surrey House features marble walls, carved wood panels, glass dome ceilings, and ornate stonework throughout its grand interior and exterior architecture.
Built between 1900 and 1912, Surrey House served as the headquarters of Norwich Union Insurance Society, displaying the wealth of early 20th-century British commerce.
The building incorporates architectural elements from multiple European styles, including Greek columns, Italian marble, and British craftsmanship in its design.

Twenty-four marble columns in the main hall originate from the same quarry used to construct the Vatican, creating a remarkable connection between these structures.
