Wills Building, Grade II listed building in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Wills Building features Art Deco architecture with an office block facing the main road and extended wings forming a quadrangle pattern.
Originally constructed in the late 1940s, this structure operated as a cigarette manufacturing facility for W. D. & H. O. Wills until its closure in 1986.
The building included a theatre and recreational spaces for employees, reflecting mid-20th century industrial workplace developments in northern England.
The structure now contains residential apartments following its 1999 renovation, which added modern features like enhanced soundproofing and blue-tinted glass windows.
The restoration preserved the front section while the rear portion required demolition due to extensive nicotine damage from its years as a tobacco factory.
