Hargreaves Building, Grade II listed building in Chapel Street, Liverpool, England.

The Hargreaves Building displays Venetian architectural features with rounded window frames, granite basement, and four stories of ashlar construction.

Built in 1859 as the headquarters for Brown Shipley Bank, the building was designed by architect Sir James Picton for banker Sir William Brown.

The exterior walls feature carved roundels depicting explorers Columbus, Vespucci, and Pizarro, representing Liverpool's maritime connections with the Americas.

The building now functions as the Racquet Club Hotel and Ziba Restaurant, offering accommodation and dining services in central Liverpool.

The structure transformed from a bank to a sports club in 1985, incorporating squash courts, a swimming pool, and athletic facilities within its historic walls.
