The Temple, Liverpool, Grade II listed office building on Dale Street in Liverpool, England
The Temple is a four-storey office building with a Mansard roof and grey granite basement on Dale Street in Liverpool. The facade features a Tuscan colonnade and a curved corner tower topped with a lead cupola and decorative finials.
The building was constructed between 1864 and 1865, designed by architect Sir James Picton for banker Sir William Brown. It emerged during Liverpool's peak period of maritime trade when the city's wealth came from shipping and commerce.
The entrance displays a carved symbol of four clasped hands with the inscription 'Harmony Becomes Brothers', which represents the bonds between merchants and traders during the Victorian era. This detail shows what business partnerships meant to the people who worked here.
The building sits at the corner of Dale Street and Princess Street and is easy to reach on foot. Its historic features are visible from the street without needing special access or arrangements.
The curved corner of the building is a rare architectural solution that gracefully connects the two streets. The lead cupola atop the tower was once a sign of prosperity and skilled craftsmanship.
